Title: Alice Ann Malkin
Post by: ChrissieL on Saturday 21 March 20 13:39 GMT (UK)
I'm taking advantage of the offer to restore some family photos. This is my husband's grandmother, born in 1884
Many thanks.

What a lovely photo, it needs a lot of work but so worth it. I bet this one will be popular, any chance of a better scan, this is only scanned at a resolution of 72dpi which is quite a small file. 300dpi would produce better results if you can.

Thank you.  Yes it is quite damaged. This is a scan I already had. I'll look out the original and rescan it
Thanks

My pleasure, Chris.  :)
If you can manage to get and post a higher resolution image, as Carol suggested, you should get some great restores.
Cheers,
Peter

Hello Carol and Peter. In spite of looking everywhere I just can't find the original photo. I know I have it. There are also other Malkin photos missing too. I have obviously put them all somewhere safe. Ill be back when I locate them
Thanks again for your help

Thank you so much. It's great to see her looking so lovely. We have pictures when she was old, but this is the only one we have when she was young
Many thanks

I only made an effort to clean her face a bit. The rest is way beyond my patience...lol. (How does a photo get so scratched up?) Anyway, I wanted to see what she looked like in color, so here you go.  ;D

Thank you DanNC. Actually I think you have got the colouring spot on. The Malkin family have beautiful very light blue eyes which you have captured perfectly
