Husband's great grandfather - Photo enhancement and restoration please
Thank you

I haven't done one for a while, I did one the same size and another I built up the edges slightly using artistic licence so it was a little wider.

The built up version so it looks more suitable for a frame

B&W, a smaller to see it wholly. Excellent scan
-
And sepia, more of the original color

Wasn't he just....I spent and hour an 45 minutes on this one this afternoon and gazed into those dreamy eyes...for my sins...when I went to save the restored image...I got a message saying that "Microsoft had encountered a problem and would have to close down" I lost the work and my temper >:(
Gutted.

Thank you all so much, brilliant work. All the relatives will be delighted. He was a bit of a rogue, bankruptcy in New Zealand, then gold prospector, left one family behind in South Australia went to South Africa then had another family in England, gave them the same names as the children in S.A.!!

Thanks Carol, I haven't restored anything for a while, so I rushed it a little, I used to do it for a job about 20 years ago, I mainly colour old black and whites for pleasure now. I wasn't looking for something to do, I came across it whilst looking for the name Payne. I love old pictures and I thought if the person who wanted it done, wanted to print it out they'd have a job finding a long thin frame so thought I'd just make it bigger ;D ....the other restorations posted below mine look amazing! ;D

Welcome from me, to, PVD.
Actually - to dampen the ardour of the people panting about this bloke - I thought he might have been Charlie Chaplin's understudy. ;D
