Please can someone mend this torn photo of Elizabeth Russell
« on: Friday 14 April 17 02:11 BST (UK) »
This is a photo of Elizabeth Russell born in Poplar, January 1909, it is the only photo we have of her, the photograph has been loved but handled too much over the years, I would be very grateful if anyone can 'repair the tear' as the tear goes through Elizabeth and distorts the young girl's arm, maybe a bit of colour? but not the colour is not as important as the tear, my computer skills are very basic, and this puts me out of my depth. Some of the restoration work on here, is truly fantastic, and a big thank - to everyone - on this site who give their free time to help total strangers.

Dear loord74 and ymfoster (Yvonne)

Thank you so much for the time you have given to help me, the results are lovely and so much nicer than the original photo, I know so little about how to restore photos, I am not sure about 'not enough pixels' but I am going to look it up, thank you once again.

Dear Sandra ...welcome to roots chat ...Pixels mean Resolution per inch ..it was 200 Pixels/inch which is not enough to gain best results,Its recommended to be re-scanned at 300 Pixels/inch at least .
