Restorers : A real challenge is waiting you!
« on: Sunday 21 December 14 21:22 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone, I've found a book with some pictures of the family and some are really important to me, but also really damaged as I think they are photocopies.. of a photocopy!

You'll see me around on Christmas time as I want the book's pictures to look nice over again so I can use them.

This is a rare picture of the ancestor Délima Bergeron circa 1910. It's one of the only 3 pictures known of her. Can someone do some magic on her? I added an enlargement of her face, if that helps.

This is the kind of challenge I can do without.  Sorry but I don't seem to be able to work miracles.

On laptop so can't do much with it but I've put it through a few filters and played around with it.  Tinted one coming shortly!

I love a challenge, this is the best I can manage on my laptop. The 1st one, I have tried to stay as true to the photo as I can, the 2nd one I have removed the unknown person.

Just played around a bit more - not sure if it's any better. As Trishanne says, laptops are a bit restrictive and it's getting near bedtime  ;D

Here is another version, best I can do from that original I'm afraid.
