DOWN family Canada
« on: Tuesday 05 May 20 22:00 BST (UK) »
Hi:  Could this photo be restored.
The photo is my Down family.  The gentleman is my great grandfather Charles W. Down.  The little girl on the right is my mother Dolly.  The photo was taken in Toronto circa 1916.

Thanks,

Suggestion.  Can you crop the scan to just the photo as you are wasting file size on the scanner "lid".
Anyway had a quick go for you :-)

Thanks japeflakes you really cleaned it up and thanks for the colour version.  Did you mean I should crop out the border? or some of the other landscape background on the side?

DanNC also a nice job in fixing the cracks.  Yes the annoyed boy is my Uncle Charlie and the blond boy is his brother.  He obviously did something to tick off Charlie!

As far as I can tell the "red" part is no use. That is what could be removed I think.

Thanks japeflakes.  I didn't realize I had left all that "red" portion.  I guess when I resized it I assumed I didn't need to crop again.  I will know for next time.  It's been a while since I posted to the forum.  I guess I forgot!  Again thanks for the pic and the tip.

The great Colouring Experiment continues ..... it's a bit like Pottery, when you choose a Glaze you have no idea how the finish after firing will be ... work in progress, cheers
