Army wedding Photo.
« on: Sunday 16 September 07 10:49 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone

Please could you kindly restore this photo of my Nan and Granddad, taken in 1934.

It will be my aunties 70 birthday at the end of October and I would like to give her a better copy of the photo.

Thanks

I hope you don't think this is to cheeky but would it be possible to have have my Nan on her own I have no photo's at all of my Nan and also if poss my granddad too (pushing my luck now)
Just head shots would be fine if it is easier.

I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

Hi Nessie

Have had a little play with your photo and tidied it up a bit
Getting a reasonably sized picture of your Nan will be a little more difficult

It could help if you could get the area of your Nan scanned with a much higher resolution

Photo restoration: For best results please scan at 300-600dpi

Feel free to use my restores for further enhancement, but please acknowledge my original restore/colouring thank you

Hi Smurf and Sutton

So sorry for not getting back to you sooner, I have had a mad week, I hope it gets better. :(

I want to thank you both for restoring my photo I am very pleased with the results ;D ;D.

Smurf I have tried to scan at an higher resolution (hope it works) It doesn't matter if you don't have the time.

Thank you both again
Kind regards

Will try again tomorrow to improve it, as there is certainly room for improvement (Eyes are tired!!)
