Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Could colour be added please
« on: Thursday 03 September 09 06:50 BST (UK)  »
A friend was so impressed with wonderful work done on my mother's photographs that he has asked if colour could be added to the attached pic.  The uniform is a South African Air Force uniform - colour air force blue.  The curtain was grey; floor was brown; bride's dress was powder blue; bride's hat was white with black spots; brides's shoes and handbag were black.  Bride and groom each have blue eyes.

Many thanks.

Pat

Thank you, Pels.  The original photos were taken in Swaziland in the mid 1950's when my mother was about 36.  I have managed to find earlier photos and I plan to put all the photos in a little booklet as a tribute to her.

Kind regards,

Pat

Thank you, Poll.  That's great.  I am thrilled with all the versions of the photo and quite overwhelmed at everyone's generosity.

Kind regards,

Thank you so much Poll.  The colour and black and white versions are wonderful.  We're thinking of commissioning a portrait and your versions are very like an artist's impression.  Just one request - could you change the colour of her eyes to dark brown?

David, thank you for your lovely restores.  How did you manage to find her smile in the 'wistful' photograph?

I am truly very grateful to everyone who has contributed to making these treasured memories so special.

Kind regards,

Pat

Wow, Caz.  I'm overwhelmed.   The transformation is wonderful and the frame just completes everything.   

Thank you, thank you and thank you again.

Kind regards,

Pat

Thank you, Poll, for your kind words.  We saw that wistful expression on a number of occasions over the years and we also saw her lovely smile as depicted in the attached photograph. 

Thank you, Pels, for a lovely restore and thank you, Morrie, for tweaking your lovely restore by darkening the hair.

Kind regards,

Pat

Thank you Mozza.  That's really beautiful.  Is there any way that you can increase the black in her hair and tone down the red?

Regards,

Pat

Thank you to everyone for the great restorations.  Now I just need to decide what colour dress my mother was wearing when the photo was taken.   :) :)

Thank you so much to Hippy and Carolyn for your time and effort.  The transformation and colours are wonderful.

My mother had plum black hair (her hair colouring, apparently, comes from a particular region in France but I have never been able to determine the region) and dark brown eyes.

Thanks again.  Much appreciated.

Regards,

Pat
