Grandma Dorothy Butters and Granddad Alfred Richardson
« on: Sunday 15 June 08 17:46 BST (UK) »

Hi

This is a photo of my hubbys grandma (paternal) and granddad (maternal) at his mum and dad's wedding in 1950, as you can see it's in a very sad state, if anyone can do anything with it that would be wonderful.

Not much improvement, but better than original

Hi Dave, Kali, DD and Irene

Many thanks to all of you for your hard work there, I didn't think anyone could have done anything at all with this photo, I went to  visit Pete's aunt's yesterday and got too see the famous handbag that belonged to his Gran, crammed with old photos, hence the condition, I scanned them as well as poss and some have come out well, but there's another one from this set of his Mum and Dad at their wedding looks like my dogs have chewed it (and you thought this one was in bad condition Grin), so at least I can share these photos with the family at last, a few more years and there wouldn't have been anything left to scan. I'll send a copy of these restorations to his sisters and brothers it will make their day, as they only had one photo from their mum and dad's wedding, many thanks again everyone it's much appreciated.

Hi Paula

Many many thanks for your restoration, how you managed to pick out the attention to  detail in the background is beyond me, Pete was very impressed.  I'll send a copy on to his brothers and sisters, there's only one colour photo of Alfred as far as I know, so now there's two! 

Thanks once again, you're a star.

Couldn't have done it without the Vista, kali...
Mind you, it's taken me long enough to find out what happens when I slide 'the slidey things' up and down. Now I'm so thankful for that inquisitive moment.
