Title: Johnson of Liverpool: 1980s
Post by: Surtees on Friday 04 November 22 20:57 GMT (UK)
Please can some kind soul/s enhance this photo of a relative who died a while ago.
I'd really like better contrast and focus, please.

Thank you.

Much improved - nice work everyone.  :)

I don’t have the skill or tools to assist I’m sorry, but may I suggest that the face might stand out a little more if the background was muted slightly. The Christmas decorations are a little bit distracting.  This is not a criticism of the restores, but just a suggestion if anyone fancies giving it a try to see how it looks.

 ;)

Fabulous Japeflakes.  ;D

I hope Surtees doesn’t mind me putting in my tuppence worth. I only did so because the restores brought so much clarity to the photo and made some things stand out more.

I agree, some lovely work on this one. I think they may have forgotten about these, as they were on Roots this morning.  ::)
