Can this picture be restored?
« on: Saturday 28 April 07 02:43 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Would it be possible to clear up this picture of my Great Grandparents and their daughters?

You help will be appreciated.

Hi Pete and KBG,

Good starts on the difficult task.  I have a question -- is it because of the tear in the picture that the older girl's face seems out of focus?

I prefer to have it restored with the colour/appearance of what it is -- a photo taken 1893.  Will that work?

Hi Kathleen,

           A B&W,        You mean you don't want it colouring?
