This is an old photo of someone known to me as Auntie Dorothy (woman in middle) who is actually my Grandad's Mum's cousin. I believe the older woman on the right of the picture is Ann Ellen Hine (maiden name Bennett) and the man on the far left is Dorothy's husband (George Hayton). I assume the timing is around 1930s/40s given their ages. If anyone could restore it a bit I'd be really appreciative?

You should get lots of good repairs on this shot.

Thanks so much! Does anyone know if there is also a way to sharpen the photo? (It may not be possible).

Your photo has been scanned too small in both pixel and overall image size. Rescan at a minimum pixel size of 300 dpi and an overall maximum image size of 500kb At the top of this page are instructions if required, regards, John.

Best I can do with so small an image, sorry

Thanks all! Really appreciate what you've done! I wasn't the one to scan the photos and my aunt has lost the original photo so I'm afraid that's not possible :( Thanks for all your help though! I especially love the coloured one, made my gran smile :)

Have you tried the enhanace and colorize functions on MyHeritage?
This is what it managed with your photo (it's not perfect).

Are you trying to do us out of a job :-\ ;D ;D
I don't like them, they are a bit hit and miss and throw up some weird results, but as a restorer and colourist, I'm biased ;)

That's a fair comment! I've only got Gimp and I must admit I struggle with that…

;D iI agree with Carol the results are definitely a bit hit and miss and the colours are usually blues, greys and browns and quite often smudged. I have done a slightly larger version of my coloured image showing just the family. It is such a shame there are not more details to work with
