Title: My Mother.
Post by: sylvia on Friday 20 April 18 04:47 BST (UK)
I would like to upload a photo of my mother to remove a few scratches from it, especially around her face. I am not sure but I think it may be her wedding day December 1935.In Rowley Regis Staffordshire. I am not sure if I have downloaded it ,I will post anyway.
Thanks a lot Sylvia Churchill.

Hi Sylvia,
I had a little play although there should be someone who could do a much better restore if you could scan the picture at 300dpi. There will be more to work with.

Lovely lady.

Oh my God these photo's are so lovely Terry. She did have lovely eyes! which my brother inherited she also had  lovely long chestnut hair that I used to spend time brushing for what seemed like hours. She was also a very strong willed woman to that loved her children so much and would have fought to the death for us.Enough of this before I end up blubbering.Sylvia

All these photo's are lovely, some of them are positively stunning, and I don't want to discard any of them. I only wish I was half as talented as some of you are. Thank  to you all ,you have made my life a very happy one since  the posting my mother. I have looked so forward to opening my emails each day in anticipation of what little gem was awaiting me. xxx Sylvia Churchill

I have put a couple of these photos on Facebook of the before and after restoration. If I should be asked where I got them restored do I give them the name of Roots Chat or not. I would hate to swamp you with requests to restore peoples  photo's.
Title: Re: My Mother.
Post by: McGroger on Tuesday 24 April 18 03:30 BST (UK)
We can take it, Sylvia. ;D
Maybe just mention a couple of things:
Send the images as a good file size so restorers have plenty of pixels to work with and generally produce better work. This usually means scanning at 300 or 600 dpi - whatever fits under the Rootschat limit of 500 kB.
And if they have a few to be done it's probably a good idea to send only one or two at a time, waiting for completed restores before sending more. Otherwise, when the board is busy some requests tend to get lost down the board until someone notices them. And also with only one or two at a time you tend to get more restorers having a go at them, therefore more restores to choose from.
Cheers,
Peter

Okay thanks McGroger.I just popped into facebook and as sure as God made little apples I was just asked the question, I will go paste the instructions for them but not before I ask if I can post another lovely photo of my other gorgeous mother inlaw, or the lovely Lucy Edwards who is in my profile picture. Will that be okay  ?

Well to all you talented folk here ,I PUT Three photo's of my mother onto Facebook and I must say they were very  impressed with them ass was I.
I want to thank you all for your time and patience,you are all very kind .
Needless to say I have a folder full of my mothers photos.
I did post one of my lovely mother inlaw but I am not sure if it posted okay since I am not to good at following instructions and I am not even sure if I  posted the right photo.
I would like my great Aunty Lucy restored a little. Will it be okay if i tag it on the end of one of these replies in the Attachments.Please.
