Photo of my grandmother for a clean up please
« on: Sunday 08 August 10 09:17 BST (UK) »
Good morning,

I've just discovered this photo of my grandmother, Julia, taken sometime between 1919 and 1922 (I believe).  Could it be tidied up please?  It doesn't seem to have any cracks or damage but appears quite dark.

I am in awe of the talent of all the restorers on this board.  You do amazing work and I would be most appreciative if you could work your magic on this photo.

Thank you so much.

Susan

I have been advised to try rescanning the photo at 300 dpi as the first scan (at 600 dpi) appears quite compressed....so I'm posting again.

I hope this is better.

Thanks so much.

Susan
