Not sure if anything can be done to improve this faded picture but would appreciate anything you can do.

Hi Jean,

I only did a quick clean, with minor constrast and brightness adjustment.

I hope this meets with your approval.

Kind regards

Many thanks to each of you.  I guess the face was marked and blurry but you have done some lovely restorations.  Pale blue was her favourite colour and she wore it often.  It is so nice to see these old pictures come to life
