Is this too damaged to restore? Completed, thankyou.
« on: Tuesday 22 May 07 22:49 BST (UK) »
I am thrilled to have these photographs though it's very hard to see the faces properly, the photographs were together but I scanned them seperately thinking it might help the quality.
are they too badly damaged do you think?

If there is anything someone could do I'd be so grateful though I understand if you can't, they've been badly damaged.

Hi Gill,
Had an attempt at them as they are but the lines from the scan kept interferring, could you re-scan them at a larger resolution and I think I'll be able to help a little bit with them.

Well this one was difficult! With a little help from my daughter on how to do the gradient edging, my attempt!  :P :P  ;D

Please acknowledge when a restorer works on your photos, it can take hours for them to work their magic

Please scan at 300dpi minimum to help save the restorers eyesight.
