Heads chopped off - please can anything be done to help?
« on: Wednesday 05 June 13 00:13 BST (UK) »
Another one - the photographer has chopped the heads off - don't know if it's possible to put them back on??

If you magicians can do anything, I'd be so pleased.

Always up for a challenge I gave it a go but I also want to apologise in advance as I hope I haven't offended your family with my attempt at fixing this!
I have been doing genealogy research for myself & others for many years, just because I love it.

I moved to the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina in 2001 and just recently have got into photo restoration.

I am using an older version of Paintshop Pro XI on an even older pc :) & I want to thank in advance all who are helping me on this journey with my new hobby.

Anybody needing NC, VA research, just ask me!

Hi mopsy_jay:

I'm just an observer here and enjoy seeing the work done on photo restorations. But I have to say, you have done an outstanding job on those two men. I wonder though, if they would have been happier with more hair  ;)

Thanks for your attempt - I am uploading another photo of the younger chap to show how his hair looks.  He does look a bit naked!!

Thanks for your trouble, the rest is fine,

Wendy

Not the same style but he has hair now!
