Restore & match two photos pls: Liz & Mark Evans wed in Qld Aust
« on: Sunday 19 July 15 05:44 BST (UK) »
Hello all, here are two more of my old family photos - the 1935 wedding of another one of the Evans family's daughters and hence my aunty  :D).

The photo of them standing (No1) has several creases across the middle and the colour is a bit ‘strange’ and it looks quite different to the other photo (No2) where Liz is sitting. It would be wonderful if the talented restorers of Rootschat could improve both and perhaps even match the colours a bit better, if that’s possible.
 
Not sure if its appropriate to put this here but these wedding photos also provide a bit of a social comment of the times as Aust was in deep depression then.  :-[   They were married in a church but there was simply no money for a wedding reception. Equally these wedding photos show them simply standing outside on a mat in front of a timber structure, with a sheet of patterned material hung behind to provide a bit of background. But they were happily married for almost 60 years. Life was tough in the country but people made do, then as now.
 
Many thanks ... regards ... Leend

Two from me, I couldn't do much with them sitting down, the shadows are very strong, but hopefully the one of them standing is an improvement,

Many thanks to Pablo59 and Trishanne/Pat. I know these two wedding photos had pretty poor restoration prospects   :-[  :-\    but you have both done wonders with them. I really appreciate your efforts.  :) :)
 
And Pablo59, your purple-ie tinted version was such an unusual surprise,  :o  :o  but I just loved it. Did wonder tho if it might be possible for you to give the same tinting treatment to the other photo (the one where they are both standing)?

Also if anyone was interested in having a go at adding some touches of soft colour and/or a border to both photos, that would be a real treat too (though I don’t want to be a drain on the time/energy of the wonderful Rootschat restorers).
 
Thanks again, Pablo50 and Pat, you're wonderful!! .... regards ... Leend
