Bill Bowtell needs ironing
« on: Friday 23 January 15 09:14 GMT (UK) »
Hi there,

this is my grandfather Bill. Could somebody take the crease out of this please?

If anyone would like to have a go at colouring this photo he had very dark brown eyes, black hair, and a complexion that would make you think he was from the Mediterranean.

Thanks in advance.

Gavin

Update 10:19. 23 Jan 15

He also needs to grow a bit Gavin...This is tiny at 24kbs...a scan of 300dpi or 600dpi if the photo is small...and a file size of just below 500kbs is recommended for best results and a good printout. There is a tutorial at the top of the board for guidance.
