Could this be cleaned up please - updated!
« on: Sunday 23 November 08 12:54 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
This is all that's left of a photo of my mum, dad and a young Hughie Green...she sang on Opportunity Knocks in 1950 when it was still being broadcast on the radio. She's deeply disappointed that this is all that remains so any help would be really appreciated  :)

Hi Elaine

If you could post (same size ) another photo of your mum of the same era
it is possible the do 'surgery' to replace the missing parts of her face
The face will need to be facing the same way to make this work

Hippy :) :) :)
Please scan all photographs at 300-600 dpi.
Please feel free to colour/modify any restores posted by me.
An acknowledgement would be much appreciated.

That would be wonderful Hippy  :) Didn't expect you to be able to do anything with mum's face but it would be terrific if you can  :)
I'm not sure about the size that you mean?  I have one where she is facing almost the same way but she is part of a group of people and it's not so close up but it is quite clear.
