Im amazed with the work you do colouring pictures so wondered if you could do one for me.

Many Thanks

Katy

Hi Katy,

Is it possible to re-scan at 300dpi. This is only 96dpi and working close up it is very heavily pixilated. Even though it's in B/W if you can re-scan make sure the settings are on colour. This will help to bring out more detail.
Please scan photos at 300dpi or higher. Thank you.

Hi Oldhippy

This is the original but it has some creases on it which were removed by someone on here.

A higher resolution would give a better final pic
About as good as I can get for now
Maybe I will do a little more l8er if I get time

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