Agapios and Marina Papaioannou - Cyprus -
« on: Sunday 11 January 15 13:24 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone,

Would like to get a restore of a photo of my grandfather's cousin and his wife (the photo is dated circa 1939). Please no blurry, smudgy effects. Sharpening of image would be nice. Colour is fine as is, possible colour version if possible too.

For the passport image, would appreciate if anyone could get rid of that shadow in the back of the photo largely on the right hand side (and no, the gentleman does not have a pony tail hahahaha).

Any assistance is greatly appreciated  :) :) :)

Kind Regards,

Anthony

You say you don't want any blurry smudgy effects but the passport photo is badly pixelated and we will struggle to get a clear image without using any form of smoothing....It is also a low resolution at 200dpi for a passport photo...it needs to be at least 600dpi.

I'm happy for the passport photo to stay as it is, but if somehow that triangle shadow can be colour matched with the rest of the background, that would be fantastic. I know it is very poor quality.

Thanks Carol,

Anthony

Yes, I know the quality wont be very good - but that is the only scanned copy that was ever made, before all those photos were lost in Egypt.
