My Mam in need of some TLC, please?
« on: Monday 23 November 15 19:33 GMT (UK) »
Going through old family photos, to stir up memories for my brother who has Alzheimers, I came across this battered image on a Cd of old pictures.

It's our Mam, but I wondered if anyone here could work a little magic and get rid of the creases.

As I said, it's not an original - I don't know if that would make any difference, although I don't have the original print.


Many thanks, in advance,

Stoney

And one with a blue tinge. Just for a change!

Wow - you guys are great! Thank you so much. He has had so much pleasure looking at old family pictures (even if he can't always remember who's who).
I am looking forward to sharing these with him.

Again - thank you all, so very much!  :-*

Carolyn that's gorgeous! Love the colours of the brickwork. These threads are so interesting, it fascinates me to see all the different interpretations of the original pictures. Not just the colouring but the different details people pick out. I noticed you had given her white bars on her shoes - I thought the white was part of the picture cracking, but now I think I maybe need new glasses  ;)
