Like Carol, I tend not to restore my own family photos and as the board is a bit slow, here's one from me.
This is a photo of a pic of my big sister who died a few years ago. I think it was take around the time that I was born.
I remember it in the family photo album and I'm sure I scanned it but I can't find the scan. Her daughter has taken a pic of it. It's not brilliant but I would be grateful if you could attempt a tidy.
No colour please.
Thanks

I do have a coloured attempt but see you asked for no colour

Thank you for taken the time, japeflakes. You've got rid of that nasty orange-y yellow color cast. I remember that the original was B&W. I think my niece must have got the white balance wrong. The whole batch that she sent (including some of me) have got that cast :-\

A try from me, regards, John.

What a lovely photo, you and your sister are very alike, she rinds of a you I have seen in a wedding photo I think.
Carol

Thank you, John. You've brightened her up :)
We were alike in parts, Carol :) I was curly auburn with blue eyes and she was more wavy light brown with hazel eyes. The shape of our eyes, nose and mouths were different too. She was 3 inches smaller than me ;D

Lovely photo, Gadget. Here's my try. :)

It's a pleasure working with you, Carol and all the others, Peter :)
I have another one. This time of my Mum and her in laws. It's a bit cracked. I'll put it up on a new thread later today :)

PS - I've just been going through some folders of scanned family pics and found masses that I've not restored :o
-
That's how I found mine Gadget, when I was tidying up...there are so many needing work that I had forgotten about.
Back soon to have a go :)

Lovely photo Gadget.
I'm with you - I prefer old photos to look old - and without colour usually! (apart from my avatar!)

I've put a couple of photos of my Mum for restoration now. She was about 23-24 and looks so happy :)

Going to be a hot day - might play with those later.
