Can anyone help my friend please?
« on: Friday 18 April 08 23:33 BST (UK) »

I'm hoping someone has time to help me (and my friend) out.

This is the only picture she has of her Dad Sad as he died when she was little and he was quite camera shy. Theres allegedly a wedding photo too but her Mum is struggling to find it Sad

I scanned it in with the plan of printing her a decent sized one out (its only 4cm by 5cm) but its not in great condition.

Please please can someone with a wee bit spare time have a go at restoring it.

I cant tell you how much it will be appreciated!!

Thank you!!!

Tracey

Hi Tracey
Here are 2 versions of resized cleanups for you.  The first is as near to the original as possible, and the second a smoothed out version

I can't thank you all enough.

This is wonderful work!

I'm going to print each one off for her (she doesn't 'do' computers). I suspect this might just make her cry Wink

Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!

Sorry .I thought I had posted this painted interpretation of your friend's Dad .. This may look big but you need the bigger file to enable a decent size print to be taken . Please send me a pm with an email address and I can send it to you if you think your friend will want it .
cheers Polly
