Young playmates need improve & colour if possible please
« on: Monday 22 November 10 18:42 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

Please can someone improve & colour this photo if possible it is a copy of a photo so do not have original.
I am the one sitting in the middle & my elder sister is the girl on the front row on the left. The photo was taken in the  1940s.

Hi Kathy,  :)

I can see you've already struggled with this one before and you've
already had a couple of good restores on what was previously to offer.

To be honest, although it's still a very low resolution, the final image
you posted on the above link is better than the one on this thread !  :(

Kindest regards,

Pels.

Hello Tup

Its a smashing pic and I can see why you must have it restored, especially due to the old lady in the doorway, bless her ... having a nose   ;) ;D

I am not a colourist, (just a transformer ;) ??? ::))  but I am going to pop it on the desktop and have a dabble.... will watercolours do ??? ??? ???

done what i can with this one
]
GUIDE FOR PHOTO RESTORATIONS PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR SCANNER BED IS CLEAN AND SCAN AT A RESOLUTION OF 300-600 WITH THE SCALE AT 100% MINIMUM.

If you would like a coloured version, details such as hair colour , eyes and clothing etc.  if known  would be helpful to restorers

Regards Roy

Hi Pels,

Sorry that was the best scan I could do with this special photo(brings back lovely memories)I did it according to my printer/scanner at 600dpi.

Regards

Kathy
