Beyond repair?
« on: Saturday 23 September 06 14:08 UTC (UK) »
This is one of my dad in his 20's. If this can be fixed I would be very grateful - even if it means just a cameo of him. Don't worry about the woman as she doesn't have to be in the photo

Thanks in advance

Carol

To be honest Man of Kent I'd rather not have her in the photo. - long story which doesn't go down well in the family

Hi Carol

I'll have another go when I've got more time as I know this photo probably means a great deal to you.

Cheers

Thanks Cazza

My dad is still going at 71 even though he is riddled with arthritis, spondylosis, menieres disease and chest problems. he is slowly succumbing to his age as well as his short term memory is going. (Alzeimers has been mentioned but not proved yet)

The photos help him with his stories so much.

he still comes with me on my trips to Anglesey to meet new rellies and the records office so that keeps him going (and out of mum's way for a few days lol)

Hi Carol,

Hardly worth posting - but might get someone else to think - "I can do better than that!!"

 This was a tuff un  Shocked    .... tried just to do a cameo Roll Eyes    ... added some noise as it looked unreal after all my cloning and filtering  .... don't really think it's worked ... but ....seems a shame to bin it without letting you see it first ... Embarrassed

Cheers Poll  Smiley  You can tell him he looks a very handsome man ... always a sucker for a man in uniform !! Wink Wink

All of these pics are much appreciated and they look okay to me -you can see who it is supposed to be

Don't worry - I asked if it was beyond repair but you proved me wrong

Well done to Cazza, Poll, keith and Tomkin
