Wow, another excellent restoration, the owners gonna cry with happiness. To good Irene.

Born 1883 would mean the photo would have been taken 1910-15ish me thinks, guessing the lady to be in her late teens to early 20s

no no it's good to, thanks Irene

It must be a door on Dorothea's right side, your attempt brought that out well, could see it faintly in the others but wasn't sure just what it was

This photo is so awesome, I had it printed A4 size. I'm a stunned mullet taking in how beautiful it came out. I even had to buy a frame for it, got a wooden one that's dyed purplish and matches perfectly the frame you placed around it Carolyn.
Sending it to dad on Monday. After I spend the rest of the weekend admiring it, Wondered where I got my good looks, Grandma  ;D

Just printed the colour photo but I lost a little of the effect, it looks a bit flat through my printer so I'm going to have her printed professionally, Both black and white and coloured, Just take a little longer for dads response is all.

Wow, Fast work, thank you all very much :)
And all I did was have a little sleep, past midnight when I posted Dorothea  ;D
I am very impressed with the skills shown here. I was surprised at the detail editing brought out of the black and white photo, The florets on her blouse are there alright but I hadn't noticed before. I was just replying to thank you three for your efforts (I was impressed enough even with the B&W) when the recoloured photo arrived. a 24 caret gold necklace even. That blew me away Carolyn, All of the photos but especially your one I think are going to make an old man very very happy. I think he might even cry ^_^'
I'll print them out and mail them to NZ this afternoon, There will not doubt be a response from my Father in due time, I'll post that for you ones when I hear from Him, probably towards the end of next week.
Thank you all again and bless you Jim, David, Tabsearch and Carolyn

Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to this site, new to genealogy as well, thought for years I wouldn't be interested but I'm have fun tracking my ancestors down, This one is my paternal grandmother as a young woman. I wouldn't mind having her restored if some kind soul would do it. Its a copy of the original which dad has back in New Zealand, He's going to get a copy of  this as well, I'm sure he would love to see it restored, not sure if he knows old photos can be restored so he'll be pleasantly surprised as well. Photo would have been taken around 1910

Just entered this guys name in a search engine is how I found Rootschat, Thanks. He is my paternal grandmother's brother, I knew his wife's name was Margaret, didn't know her maiden name though. another fact I found is he went of to war in 1917, mentioned in the Auckland war memorial archives. I think from what my father told me he came back but will have to do some more work on him and his wife
