Title: 2 men negative, Grandad Frank George Norder
Post by: gvgirl on Wednesday 27 September 17 00:50 BST (UK)
Sure would like to see who these men are.  One might be my grandfather.  Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Not much to see I'm afraid...very damaged and heavily pixelated.

Like Carol, I think it's too pixellated and dusty to get much out. The negs were over exposed. I've done a bit on my tiny laptop but have limited software on it.

Oh my goodness.  It's not only my grandpa Frank, it's also my grandpa Joe.  This is a treasure to me.

Thank you.

As others have said, there's not much detail in the photo but I've tried to clean it up a bit (spots), add some 'colour' to the clothes and just hint at jawlines, etc. that were missing. A much better restore/reconstruction might be possible but this would takes days of work (for me).

     Wow.  This is wonderful!  I don't know how this is done but you have worked wonders and given life to my grandfathers.  I deeply appreciate what you have done voluntarily and am quite happy with this as a final result for me.   Sincerely,  Carol
