1915 photograph of George Henry Jones, and his sister Sylvia Gladys
« on: Sunday 29 October 17 18:43 GMT (UK) »
Hi, the attached is of my Father, George Henry Jones, and his sister Sylvia Gladys, and was taken in Evesham, Worcestershire in 1915/16. As you can see, it is in a terrible condition, is it possible for it to be restored?

Love that one Carol, I know how difficult it was to do, I have scrapped two versions, I can't match yours though.

Glad you are pleased with the work...It is always best, where possible to scan photos at a minimum resolution of 300dpi...this was scanned at a very low 72dpi and this makes our job much harder as there is less detail to work with.

Thanks for the feedback Pat, it's very much appreciated but you must always post your work as I'm sure it would have been better than you think. The low resolution did make it harder though.

Good job on a tough photo Andy  :D
