Help restoring old photo of the McCormick family from New York state
« on: Wednesday 29 April 15 22:09 BST (UK) »
This is a photo of my sister-in-law's grandparents - McCormick family from New York state. I would appreciate it if someone could restore this photo for me as it is very faded. At least I now have it scanned so it can be preserved.

Thank you in advance.
Anne

This is a tough one, not much to work with I'm afraid. I've cleaned it up a little, but I do hope somebody will come along with more ability than me and do a better job for you.

Hello Anne,  :)

Welcome to Rootschat,

Did you scan the photo in black & white setting or colour ?

colour gives us much more to work on,

Yvonne
Restorers may use my restores to colour, acknowledgement appreciated.
