Anyone up for a challenge?
« on: Monday 18 January 10 04:42 GMT (UK) »
Hi Brilliant team of Restorers,

Attached is a scan of a photo in great need of repair (it is my Great Grandmother and one of her younger brothers) - not sure if it's possible to make any improvements as the quality is poor, but I would be very grateful if anyone is willing to try!  :D

It's a very strange colour - so any attempts at a recolour would be wonderful too.

Thanks very much....JJ

P.S. It's a scan I received from elsewhere, so unfortunately I can't rescan it if needed.

Thanks very much Mike - a big improvement!   :) Boy you're quick!!  Just popped out to do the fruit & vege shop and what a surprise on my return...

It is in pretty terrible condition - is it worth me posting another picture of my G Grandmother that shows her face clearer?

Yes by all means post the image showing her face better and
it can be put inplace of the near lost face.

Thanks Mike,

Here's the closest one we have to that age, although she is younger in the first one.

Cheers...JJ
