Photo in Bad Condition
« on: Saturday 21 January 06 13:30 GMT (UK) »
Hi!
I've attached the only photograph in my family's possesion of my Great-Great Grandparents Thomas & Rebecca Hopkins (elderly couple in front), along with my Great Grandparents Harold & Margaret Mabel Hopkins, and in the top right is Harold's sister Violet.

The photo has some awful creases, lines and discolouration across it.

Any amount of restoration, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated by everyone in my family.

Thanks for reading!

Ryan.

Hi Ryan,

I don't have a clue what I'm doing but I'm just beginning to learn!! I took a 10 minute lash at it for you - however I imagine that to do any proper work on this you'll need to provide a higher resolution/bigger scan to work on.

Anyhoo...

Thank you very much. I'm completely satisfied with the job you've both done, and I'm impressed too.

The original photo itself is tiny, and my scanner enlarged it to the furthest degree before the image started to pixilate. Sorry for any inconvenience, you've both done a superb job nonetheless.

Cheers.

Ryan.
