Wartime pic in need of New Year facelift please
« on: Tuesday 01 January 08 05:09 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
Firstly I would like to wish everyone a
very happy and safe New Year.
 
We are having terrible cyclonic weather
in Queensland at the moment, & beaches
have been closed due to the atrocious
conditions.  Certainly is not the Sunshine
State at the moment
:'(

Ah well the upside is I can sit in front of my
computer all day and not feel guilty 
 :)

I have attached a picture of my aunty & uncle
taken during WW2, unfortunately it is creased
and damaged. Hoping it can be tidied up a wee
bit please.

Many thanks

Here are a couple, the first at 33% for PC viewing and the second at full res if you would like to experiment with printing.

Here's another. I added a little sepia tone.

Morning Nan, Irene & Mudge,

Just woke up to another wet windy day 5.38am
:'(

What can I say, it is unbelievable how good
all your restorations are.

I don't know how you all do it. Great stuff
many many thanks.

bye
