Could my lovely nan be restored please.  I did submit this image a few years back, but the scan was of poor quality at the time, i feel this time it could be so much better to work with. 

Many thanks

Sorry about that. Obviously my 14 ins screen didn't show the spots and scratches, and I'm fussy about blemishes  :-X   Hope this is better from the big Mac. I've given it a lighter vignette as well.

Beautiful work on a good scan!

  Christian . . . Do you know the story of the ring on the chain round her neck?  Is it a ring, or a pendant?    I can't decide.  Might even be a cameo, maybe?

Just interested.      ;).  Your aunt might know. :)

I told you off (gently) on that thread because your lack of names confused people. Poor Cas was well and truly discombobulated and Hippy put up an entirely different restore at first  ;D

You unscrew the top and place the photos back to back between the two pieces of glass then screw them into to place.
