Great Granny Mitchell - Can anything be done?
« on: Monday 19 January 09 00:02 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I have just received by email the attached scans of my Great grandmother who died in 1930.  These are the first photos I have ever seen of her.  Can anything be done to improve the photos a bit?

Thanks so much,

Debbie

To start with it would be a good idea to cancel the 2nd image and post it on a
seperate thread.
That way both images will get maximum exposure / attention

Thank you all so very much.

I really do appreciate it. This is my great grandmother who died 6 years before my father was born. I don't think he has seen any photos of her either.  It is absolutely wonderful what you have all be able to do.
