Can this snapshot be cleaned up?
« on: Wednesday 10 August 05 00:35 BST (UK) »
This is not a sepia tone but rather a cheap snapshot that is yellowed, fly-specked, and stained after years of storage in the tropics (note palm roof in background).  Could someone endeavor to clean it up, please.

Thanks!  It looks a lot better.  It is a photo of my father and his sisters in Elende, Angola in 1922.

Hi

Did you want it sepia or black and white?

This image shows a lot of grain, but if printed at the correct size and perhaps on luster paper, it should look pretty decent.
I was in the mood to color. I have the full size image if you'd like it.
