Please make my picture beautiful again
« on: Friday 13 April 07 05:26 BST (UK) »
Hi all you clever people,

I'm hoping that you can please try to restore this photo for me of my Grandmother and great grandmother.  Sorry Granny's bonnet is taking up half the picture LOL ;D and she's smiling too which is quite rare for the "oldies" photos.

I hope I can post it successfully now because it wouldn't post earlier ::).

Hugs

Sometimes less is more?

Don't usually like adding paint effects to an image..

glen your quite correct, but some times a little colour will bring out detail that would not normaly be achieved, we can only post what we think will please the person concerned and then let them decide,
right, wrong, or otherwise, we can only do our best and let the recipiant decide what restore they would like to keep, we can only do our best, or worst, at the end of the day it is the choice of the person that posted the picture, cheers, kali.
p.s. nice restore.

Hey

Thanks for the heads up -- I know what you mean. Colour used the way you did, certainly brings out more detail.

Thanks
;-)
