Title: Bramall family, WRY, possible colour enhance please?
Post by: Claire64 on Saturday 09 February 19 10:35 GMT (UK)
This is a photo of my partner's late father and grandfather that we have just been given.  As a third generation decorator, he'd love to use this photo on his website.  However, I do think it needs a bit of improvement. If this isn't allowed within the rules, I quite understand, I'll just use the original.  But I'd  still like to get a better version so we can put it in a frame and display it.  Thanks

Claire,I'm in the process of tidying up and colouring your photo, I like the colour of the van that Carol has done but do you have a preferred colour for the van.

We have no idea what colour it was, but possibly green.  But I like the brown too!

True!! The actual photo had a green tinge, which I managed to remove (sum total of my photo editing abilities!).  Which might be why OH thinks it was green!

It is a bit green, but I think the van stands out enough

Wow, you've all been busy, and very kind too.  I love them all!  It's amazing what can be done to improve our old photos isn't it.  My nan used to colour them by hand using special inks.  She had the advantage of knowing what colours to use.  My OH always thought the van was green but we've asked around and no one really knows.  Again, thank you all!  Much appreciated.
