Need help with RCAF clean please
« on: Thursday 06 November 08 17:39 GMT (UK) »
Hello fellow restorers

I'm having a go at cleaning a couple of photos for Remembrance day.
I have tried cleaning this pic of my uncle and not very happy with the result.   :-\

Can you give it a better clean to smooth out the skin especially?
Colour is most welcome ... eyes brown, brown-black hair, uniform RCAF blue

Thanks for your help with this   :) :)
Kate

Thank you gentlemen   ;D
Wonderful improvements David & Mike, and much faster than I.
I really appreciate your skill and time restoring this rare family photo.

Not exactly sure about the uniform colour Kate, I seem to remember they were a little darker than the R.A.F.

Feel free to alter/modify or colour any restores done by me.
