Photo for restoration please
« on: Thursday 12 July 12 12:55 BST (UK) »
Would it be possible for anyone to restore this old photo please?
It hasn't had the best of care as can be seen :|
It was a polaroid snap from 30-40 years ago, trapped in a house fire and subsequently soaked in the rescue.
Many thanks for being here.
Best regards

Hi

You have scanned this photo in Greyscale
Would it be possible for you to rescan in RGB
This would give restorers a much better chance of repairs

Cheers
Hippy  :) :) :)
Please scan all photographs at 300-600 dpi.
Please feel free to colour/modify any restores posted by me.
An acknowledgement would be much appreciated.
