A bit of a challenge
« on: Thursday 16 June 05 10:06 BST (UK) »

Hi folks, I don't know if you can do much with this as it's very old, but any improvement would be appreciated.
This is the Jeffrey family (my g/grandparents).
many thanks, Sylvia

Hi Sylvia

I found this hard to do, as I found it to small and not much detail. Would it be possilbe to rescan and repost a larger version.

Regards
Ken

Their never too big Grin Just too damaged Cry But we can bring a bit of life back. It's difficult when there is so much fading in the facial detail. I have sharpened it up a bit to make it a bit clearer. Not sure if it works or not.

Thanks thats a lot clearer.
The trouble is it's a copy of the original and I've no idea who has that, so need to save this as much as possible.
On the side of the photo it has the studio name where it was done...A&G Taylor (crest) Photographer to the Queen, Glasgow. (I had to crop that off to fit to the page.) I believe that A&G Taylor had several branches round the UK.
