A gorgeous face needs some colour ....
« on: Sunday 23 September 07 15:23 BST (UK) »
Not sure how you all feel about this photograph but I think it's wonderful  ;D  He is Chris my great, great grandfather's brother.

Would any of you have some time to add some colour to a very attractive photo?

Thanks

Sorry guys it's massive - do you want me to make it smaller?

The size is no problem as we can change that ourselves before reposting the restore ;)
However, the resolution could be improved, as it is only 72dpi :( :(   Can you redo it between 300 to 600 dpi ??? ??? , to enable us to give you a better restoration

Leave it with me, will get it done on a different scanner.  I only had the photo for a matter of minutes and it was scanned at my dad's.  Hopefully the lady who has the photograph will do that for me.

Thanks
