Hi Deadants,
I think you've done a grand job! It's hard to guess his lips and chin as the edge of the locket has distorted the photo. Withoug having a similar picture to compare it too I'd say it's pretty darn good 
Thank you very much for doing this for me, I'm definitely going to have to do more studying...I want to be able to do it too 
Cheers
tabitha

Thanks for getting my photo clearer, it's nice to see both girls. It's even in colour!

Hi Lav,
That was a real revalation when I highlighted that second figure. It just shows what can be rescued. Well, kind of.

Interesting the young Muriel appears so ghostlike. She grew into a beautiful woman who unfortunately suffered from depression and ended up committing suicide. A ghost indeed. I think the picture was taken in the early 1900s.

By the look of Muriel, I'd say shes no more than two years old. Maybe if you have a date for Muriel's death, you can get a close approximation of the photos age.

Well we have done a bit more work on Laverdiere's two bath Tub Kids. I posted the file on the RetouchPRO forum http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10423 and those Guys have gone to work on it. Fiona from RetouchPRO, has allowed me to repost her latest version.
Hi,
deadants,
Welcome to RP!
Just to stir a bit more confusion , here is what I saw in your picture...
in my opinion the girls are in an outdoor tub (could be in some South Mediterranean country (or some exotic part of the world...). At the sides of the tub I made out only plants (some long leafed(? did I say that right?)) .... and I think that the 'feature between the girls' heads is an ornate outdoor wall water tap....
Muriel seems to concentrate on something hidden in the tub or to be sulking .... and, in my opinion, her arms are kept close to her body .... Joan seems to be holding one knee...
I strongly blurred some of the body parts to emphasize what I saw ... see below for Fionas Version.
Now that I have a copy, of the original we can have a really good look at it.

Here is the latest version of Laverdiere's Picture. First a big thankyou to Flora from the RetouchPRO forum http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/member.php?u=401 for her restoration work on this photo.
As you can see the steps in the background are the steps in the original. So we have crept a little closer to pulling this photo back from the dead.
