Hi to all Rootschatters who've sent me these wonderful restorations.  I feel so very spoilt for choice here! I really don't know which ones I like the best. They're all absolutely fantastic - and the colourised version is very unexpected and interesting - looks 'alive' and contemporary - thank you for that RJ137.

Thank you all so much again for taking the time to do this for me. Now, which ones to print ....? Decision, decisions ....

Hi Runner... I actually am about finished with one for you. It was a little more than I anticipated and will upload tomorrow. I previously did just a section, but will have the full one tomorrow!

OK Runner55... that's it for now. I am starting to believe that there must a RULE in the UNIVERSE that if you get a tear - or cracks (or any kind of damage) in an old photograph, that IT MUST BE through the faces, eyes and smiles. If you do not follow those rules, you go to Archival Jail!!! LOL!. I did not run this through any filters or AI (Artificial Intelligence) apps. I did it the old fashioned way. Although... I must say... AI has gotten pretty darn good. With all of its advances - it still has its shortcomings. Mostly, because it is... well... still "artificial". More of that subject at a later time.
