For Repair (Please)
« on: Saturday 06 October 12 03:57 BST (UK) »
This is my Nan and Grandad Mary and Dennis Packham. I think it is when they were courting and before they were married. They had quite a romantic story, she was an east end girl from London, he was a country boy who only ever left his small Kent farming town when he went to war in the navy. They met when she came down from London hop picking in the Kent hopfields, and the rest as they say is history... and that's why I'm here! My Mum (their daughter) loves this photo of her Mum and Dad. The damage was caused before we ever owned the photo and I would so like to get the tears filled in for my Mum.

Is it do-able? No colour required, just repair. I appreciate you can't fill in the missing corner but cropped slightly is just fine.

Thank you in advance.

Richard

PS - having just posted the photo and seen it all blown up I realise how bad the damage is. I'm not sure you can do much to disguise those big tears but I dare say it's a challenge if you're brave enough!

Gave it a go for you - the missing corner could probably be filled in if we knew what it was which I didn't so it would have been just a black blob  However hope you like this one

Cheers

Thank you Maureen! I don't know know how you do it, and so quick too! Makes me realise how little I know about using a computer
