80th birthday present for 12th March 2007
« on: Thursday 15 February 07 03:55 GMT (UK) »
Hi Miracle-Workers

You people are so very clever with photographs (and thank you very much for what you have done already)

The subject of this crop from a group photo taken Saturday 29th February 1936 (our grandfather’s 80th – or 20th geddit - birthday party) then almost nine will turn 80 in a few weeks time.

Please, is it possible to dampen down the bright white dress of the (usually very pleasing) cousin or remove her altogether? 
The arms and legs of the very fondly remembered aunts kind of set the scene and should stay.

This is a crop from a scan of a group so:
if anyone thinks there is a way to crop to make it a better picture of our nicest possible only sister please tell me.

Many thanks

Dai
