Clean and colour if possible for Alice
« on: Wednesday 14 May 08 22:35 BST (UK) »

Hi everyone

I have no idea if I am asking the impossible here. I have just received this emailed copy of Alice Tebbs from a newly discovered relative in New Zealand.

It would be nice to see it clearer if possible.

Alice was born in 1881 and she is the niece of Sarah Tebbs/Payne of a previous posting.

I do not know what the quality or size of the posting will be, but any advice on improvement welcome.

Here goes

Having seen the photo, I can tell it is not good!!!!

The thing is the emailed photograph would not post as it was too big, so I had to copy the photograph and post it in Picassa to reduce it. Is there any other way I can reduce the photo from the email. I do not have any other applications.

Hi Brenda  Smiley

Was the picture this unclear in the original message?  If so there is not a lot you can do, if it is better then you are in luck.  If you cannot reduce it yourself, then PM one of us and we can do it for you.  I am at work at present, but can help you tonight if no-one else has.  Just PM me if needed

Cheers

Hi Poll

Could not resist having a quick look before going out for the day...that is wonderful, I cannot believe the improvement.I never cease to be amazed at what can be achieved by you clever people.

What a lovely dress, do you think that is a choker she is wearing or is it the neckline of the dress I wonder?

Thank you so much  Poll for taking the time and trouble.

Thank you for the larger files as well.

Just had another look and can tell on the sepia one that the bodice front is filled in with lace or something and reaches her neck  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Hi Brenda ...Here is your pic that you emailed me resized for posting ....I hope you get lots more versions... Poll Wink
Ps the original pic that I received was blurred ( Look at the eyes ....as if there has been camera shake either at the time of the photo or by the person who has scanned or taken a photo of the photo; the latter being the more likely as the mount is also blurred.

Hi Poll

I never thought about that, I just assumed that it was a scan of the original, but I can see that the face is blurred, anyway you have done a great job for me in spite of this.

Thanks agian

Thank you Irene, I realise that this was not an easy picture to work on..I just wish I had the original.

It certainly is a vast improvement on my original posting, you and Poll have worked wonders!!

I wonder how they got their hair into that style?

Thankyou again

Brenda
