CURRIN, Grahamstown, South Africa

[SantaSandy]

I have three photos of my ancestors that I recently received. They appear however to be overexposed or are glossy photos that have been photographed. Is there any one who could make the first of them clearer with more definition. The photo is of Richard CURRIN Snr the Town Crier of Grahamstown. Thank you in anticipation as I was recommended to try here.

Had a go but do not find much to work on, sorry

Thanks for responding. I think I need to try and locate the originals to get better copies. Appreciated.

Or even get/ask for really good scans of the originals  -  at 300dpi if possible.   

As Japeflakes says there is so little to work with . . . .  this is really not good, but . . . .  well . . . .

Hi, SantaSandy
Welcome to Rootschat.

I’ve produced a hybrid picture, using another image to give some depth to yours. The eyes and outlines are genuine but any texture is not. It makes a picture but there’s just no telling if it’s close to the original or not. As Japeflakes and Wiggy have indicated, there’s no detail at all to tease out, as you can see in the closeup below.

Cheers, Peter.

Thanks for the response to my request. All efforts are appreciated but obviously the integrity of the photo has been compromised with the copying. Greatly appreciated Have a great day. Cheers Sandy
