Please soften Mum & Dad
« on: Monday 26 October 09 09:14 UTC (UK) »
This is my husbands mum & dad about 1950. I presume this was a b&w which was subsequently coloured. The hair & eye colours are accurate but to me the overall effect is a bit OTT, his mum's lipstick and dad's blusher  Shocked
Could some kind soul work their magic and soften the image making it more realistic, maybe a return to b&w might be interesting
Regards
Trish
