Family group needs a bit of attention
« on: Friday 09 August 13 20:02 BST (UK) »
Hello
I have been given a 1960's photograph of my Dad's family (most of the older ones have now passed away) and I was wondering if anything could be done to improve the quality and restore the light damage to the right-hand side? This is the only photograph to show all the brothers and sisters together with their mother (my grandmother), and the only one I have of most of them, so I would love to see it looking its best!
Thanks very much for reading this.

Hi there,

I was able to fix some of the damage, but am not entirely sure how one would go about fixing the quality.

Cheers,
Whitney

Thanks everyone - they're all great, much improved! Alan and Yvonne, you've even tidied up Grandma's 'coms', she'd be so pleased not to be showing her underwear any more!! She was born 5th January 1885, so this could have been taken on her eightieth birthday. She emigrated to Canada in 1948, and I think that this would have been her last visit to the UK, although she lived to the grand old age of 106!
Cheers

Thanks Irene and Caroline, two more great restores. My husband was particularly impressed by yours Caroline, because you are obviously a Man U fan!! I assume you did the restore before you watched the game this afternoon?
