Torn photo of brother and sister
« on: Wednesday 10 April 13 12:11 BST (UK) »
This photo was taken of Jim and Jean around 1900 and is in a sorry state.  Could a kind "Rootschatter", if possible, repair the siblings.

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

Irene, Sorry for the late thank you.  A fantastic image once colour has been added. I am always so appreciative of everyone who puts time and effort into restoring photographs on this forum and only wish that I had the skills that you have in using and manipulating your software.
