Title: Looking for improvement in quality please! Dorothy Hayton (maid. Hine) 1930s ish
Post by: hct21 on Saturday 18 December 21 19:19 GMT (UK)
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.

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
