1914 Rover car
« on: Sunday 18 September 05 22:12 BST (UK) »
Hi

After the success with the Flying fifteen would you like to bring this car back to its former glory? It is a 1914 Rover 18hp, 5 seat, 4 cylinder. It has my grandfather and his brothers and sisters in it I think.

PrueM said she had lost a bit of detail.
I lost 100% with my previous posting.
Nothing appeared at all, but I think I
am slowly getting the hang of inserting
a picture. Must remember to put the
writing in first?
Everybody, constructive criticism welcome.
1st attempt.

Hi Tomkin,
I think you've done a fine job (after initial aborted attempt to post the pic!  Grin  ) 
You have definitely improved the brightness and contrast of the picture and brought out more details.
Keep it up!

Hi

Prue and Tomkin thanks for your efforts. It has certainly improved it so far.

Prue the car looks wonderful but you are right some clarity was lost in the faces.

I wonder what today will bring.

Thanks again

Jane

Final attempt, otherwise with my lack of knowledge,
I will make a total "cock up".I had made some minor
tweeks such as removing the black mark on the top
of the bonnet etc.

Jane!
I have a version of this that I have done, however when I resize to post it loses to much definition.
If you contact my e mail, I will be happy to send it on.
