This photo of my grandfather Walter Freed and his mother Annie is very, very faded. Please is it possible to enhance it in some way? Thank you very much. Graham :)

A lovely effect Pat. Thank you. You've certainly brought them out of the gloom and back into the light. Very striking! Nice to see some of the detail at last. Thank you :)

Here's a go from me.
I have a copy which is original size if you want it.
Regards
Pixels are everything.
Higher compression is better than less pixels.
Pixels give better detail.

Thank you so much PhotoFX (I'm sorry I don't know your name). A very sympathetic restoration with a lovely wistful look about it. Yes please, I'd very much like a copy at original size. I will message you. Graham :)

Carol that is beautiful. I love the gentle way you've brought the figures out of the faded depths. Wonderful stuff. Thank you so much.
