Can this regimental pic be cleaned up?
« on: Thursday 01 January 15 15:12 GMT (UK) »
thank you in advance !

Hopefully this version will upload.

It really is a shame that these boys went to war, I've brothers as young as these men in this photograph, and remember them when they were the age of the youngest in this photo. It really gets me.

Hi Gavin

Hope this is okay.  I should have gotten you to email me a large uncompressed file, as this one badly pixelated when being manipulated.

Hi Cas,

they are brilliants. I am so impressed by your skill. I can email you the copy I have if you are keen to have a go at it. It is brilliant to be able to see these with the creases.

 :) That's amazing Caz, what program do you use to do this?
I sent the image to Gavin and he put it on here, it's of my mum's uncle's regiment, it's the only surviving picture of him, but we don't know for sure which one he is, it was kept with his medals and the letter to his parents telling them he was killed in action.
Middlesex regiment 7th battalion.
I've got this scanned to 4.1M and could maybe go bigger if you fancy taking it on. ;D

Hi Gavin, Steve and Sarah

Thank you all for your kind words, means a lot.  :)  :)

Steve, welcome and I'll pm you with my email, I might be able to get better detail with the larger file.  I used Photoshop Elements 10.  It's an excellent program, although it doesn't contain all the features of the full Photoshop, but then the price tag reflects this.

Happy New Year!  :D

Hi Sarah,

After many years of family research through all the usual web sites, I found it all going a bit stale for me, hitting brick walls  etc  :(, but then Gavin put me on to this forum and it's kick started my interest again,I'm impressed to say the least :D ;D, I can't believe I haven't found it before :-[

Steve/Gavin

By any chance is the chap you are looking for in the full regiment photo the same chap that I did the coloured post card photo for?
