A bit of colour for my Great Grandfathers military portrait Frank Clarke

[rjb1984]

Hi,

I'm looking for someone to help add colour to a black and white photo of my Great Grandfather's military portrait. I've seen a few companies online that offer their services with varying costs.

Can anybody here recommend someone?

Thanks,

Rich

Why do you not post it on here and see what the restorers on this site can do with it. This service is free.

Thank you Trishanne,

I would never presume something was free. Especially considering the quotes I've had so far........!

I'll try and upload the photo. It's quite a large file. Now I know that he had jet black hair. I've no idea what colour eyes. (So his daughter tells me)

I have a file with the medal ribbon colours in the order he's wearing them in the photo, if it's needed?

Thank you.

Rich

*edit* - He would of been around forty years old in this photo. So I guess his hair wouldn't be all black!

Hi  Rich,   Here is a tidy for the original. I have a colour version I've almost completed but I would like to know what colours to use for the ribbon colours. I'll finish it tomorrow as it's 1:30 am here in the USA.   , Tommy

Wow, doesn't he look wonderful with some colour.  Great work everyone.

It's all in the title Rich - "free photo restoration"

Here's mine without the medals coloured as I am also waiting to find out the authentic colours.  I will post an amended version when known.
