Help please
« on: Sunday 05 August 07 07:37 BST (UK) »
This is one that someone thought would fit nicely into a heart shaped frame and is the only one of grandad and gran together with grandchildren.  It is one of those textured finish from the 60's and I don't know where to start in putting this back into the correct shape and getting rid of all of the surface marks.  Any help appreciated
many thanks

Here is a very quick first try for you, Chairlady  :)
If you could get a higher-resolution scan for us, I think this could be made to look really good  :D

Here's another version but I'm not too sure about this  :-\

I'm sure you'll get far better ones

Hi Chairlady

A quick one from me, I only altered the depth of the levels, I haven't coloured it.  I hope it's an improvement  :-\
