Another version from the Gadget upload.....

So much easier to work on and get the decent results isn't it Andy - well worth the second effort. 

Look what happens when there is a decent scan Keith - everyone wants to 'have a go'.

 I do too - but rather busy at the moment - and you already have a raft of wonderful work.

I'm very lucky & do appreciate everyone's great work - it's been a joy having all these family photos being given a whole new life. They are now being enjoyed by family in the USA, Canada, New Zealand & Australia as well as in the UK.

I am trying to get the best possible images for the talented people on here to work with  :)

Right - not because you need it, (but because it was a pleasure to play with and I couldn't resist!  . . . . and because each of us has our own interpretation . . .  ;D ;D) - herewith my minimalist restore!   :D :D :D

And as Gadget claims to have taught me all I know - and she's right there,  - then she has to take the good with the bad!  ;)

As an old boss of mine once said, "When you can't work with what you want, you have to work with what you've got!"

I do tend to overcook when trying to eliminate the pixelation of lo-res images. Unfortunately, unless you are an artist (which I definitely aint) its all to easy to end up with skin texture that looks like a party balloon.  ;D

Thanks to Tommy & all the other talented people for these lovely restorations.
