Can anyone please repair my mum?
« on: Friday 03 March 06 00:01 GMT (UK) »
Hi
This is the only photo i have of my late mum as a little girl. (she is the one in the middle) The other two are her sisters.

Could anyone who has a little time do anything with it?
My mum had deep red hair (not ginger!) and dark green eyes,  the one on the left was blond  & blue eyed and the one on the right had  browny red and hazel eyes, if anyone wants to have a go at colourising them.

Thanks all!!
Ruth XX

Hi Ruth

Heres the first stage, a repaired picture.

I'll have a go at colouring some time soon, but time is short, and projects are many at the moment so it may be several days before I get a chance

I bet someone can fix that blurry arm, too, with a bit of cut and paste of the youngest's arm...wish I knew how to do it...I would have a go.

Hi Ruth,

I have just being telling someone that I have spent the last few hours looking into 3 gorgeous girls' eyes - and was off to put some lipstick on their mouths - so I don't expect to be here tomorrow  Wink Wink

Yours looks good Skippy, by the way.

Cheers

Keith

Hi Ruth

I haven't had much time to myself recently (the whole family suddenly wants me to fix their computers. I have enough trouble with my own!) but managed to get a sort-of finished version together.

I think muted colours suit this picture better than bright ones and make it look more natural

Hope you like it
