Uncle Jack must have been overexposed - can he be improved?
« on: Sunday 12 August 18 11:48 BST (UK) »
I discovered a batch of old negatives and had some of them printed, but my late uncle and Godfather, Jack Winton has almost lost his bottom half. Is it possible to make this photo look more respectable?
