Grandma's School Photo

Hi

Could anyone work their magic on this photo please, there seems to be some kind of stain and a scratch that needs removing.

Thanks in advance

Aw Sal, aren't they sweet!  I have one almost exactly the same of my grandmother.
I will have a go at this one but can't get to it till after work today.  By then, someone else will no doubt have worked their magic!!

What a great photo. I think all class photo's should be taken like this, instead of tiers.

Hi Prue

Yes they do look sweet don't they, this photo was taken c1907 my grandma was born Oct 1900.

Deadants- that looks great i can see my grandma's face better now, she is sitting on the row with her back to the piano fourth down from the teacher.

Thanks a million

I've resisted all temptation to noise filter with this one & have tried to bring out each individual little face. I must be an old softy as I found myself getting a little emotional over them as I went round each one. What I like about this photograph is the sense of wonderment in a lot of their faces as most will have never seen a camara before I expect.

Finally, another sepia interpretation.

Thanks Gippeswyc

They look great - this is one of my favourite photographs, i just love the expressions on their faces.

Thanks once again

Oh boy!
    I have a two seater version of those school desks in my shed - if only I could get the old inkwells to fill the holes.
