Gerrardus Jansen & Daatje Voet

This is a pretty grainy and dark picture.  Is there any way to make this a little clearer?  Would appreciate any help.  With thanks

Thanks John.  It seems that this one is quite a challenge.  I know it would be for me and that's why I reach to the more experts at it.  We all have our specialties and touching up photos isn't one of mine.  Thanks for the wonderful efforts in restoring the photo of my great grandmother and great grandfather.  It is much appreciated.

It looks like this is a bad scan of a photocopy original, plus it also looks like the two figures have been cut out and placed onto a make shift background. The results wont be any better than what you have from the restorers who have already submitted valiant efforts.


There is just nothing to work with, in truth it would be easier to pick up a pencil and paper and draw an impression of what one might think the features are of these people in the picture.


Its close to mission impossible without 100% re-invention (drawing).

Good quality size scans will mean much better restores >> hint hint :-)

Thanks Martyn.  It was a shot in the dark.  I don't have the original as the photocopy was given to me years ago and I don't have any clue where or if there is an original in existence.  Thanks to all that attempted.  Your help and suggestions are much appreciated.
