Can someone tune up the bandmaster please?
« on: Thursday 15 May 08 05:22 BST (UK) »
I've just received this photo of my great-uncle, which needs some serious TLC.  His head is fading away - can anything be done to bring it back?  I think he has a moustache, although it's hard to tell.

Thanks a lot!

Not great, but here's my attempt at enhancing his face . Don't think he does have a moustache.

Hi Everybody,

A big thank you to every one of you for tackling my battered old photo, and especially to Kate - what a super job!!  I'm very pleased.

That's lovely, Poll.  He looks quite handsome now!  You've managed to capture the detail so well, too.  I'll PM you.

Thank you!
