Please help!! Dear friends
« on: Tuesday 06 February 07 06:10 GMT (UK) »
Hi Everyone  :)

As you know I am not very good at restoring these wonderful pics, mine is the colouring bug.  So I would be really grateful if you could please have a go at restoring my Great Auntie Kate.  I know it is a big ask and she may be beyond help, but I would really appreciate any attempts.  She is a little honey and I have tried, but alas no go :-\  I am happy for any colourisations too, anything to make her look better would be great.    ;D

Thank you

Here is a close up. The dress is far too damaged to restore realistically for me (no doubt there are those that will be able to manage it!) I tried but it didn't look that great,  :'( :'( :'( so went for the face instead!     :) ;) :D ;D

Hi Mudge

Thank you for your efforts, I do know how hard it is, which is why I didn't attempt it myself, I do not have the skills yet

Denn, Thank you too for giving it your time, I am in no hurry and I will appreciate any improvment you can make on little kate

Cheers guys

Hi Lones

Here's the first draft.  Let me know what you think and then I can fine tune it.

Hi Caz

Thank you, I think it's great.  I can't get over what you can do to a completely ruined pic, you have a real talent there girl, well done  :)

I want to give a copy of little Katie to my Aunt, who lent me the pic, I know she will be thrilled as Kate was her aunt.

Thank you for making her seeable, is that a word  ???

Cheers
