Please restore inquisitive girls.
« on: Monday 16 January 12 13:19 GMT (UK) »
Anything that can be done to improve this treasured, faded photo would be appreciated.
 I think the original photo was somewhat over-exposed, so there may not be much to work with. -- the baby had very dark hair.
 Black & white or sepia would be great, but colour would be welcome if anyone wishes to have a go..
 The baby had very dark brown hair, mid blue overalls & a pale pink ribbon in her hair if you can find it! I can't!!
 The house was painted Govt. issue cream with dark brown trim & Daisy was a Jersey heifer.

Hi

A coloured version of my earlier restore.

I've struggled with the Jersey heifer- she just kept wanting to go a tan colour!

Roy
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
