Needs a good cleaning and fix (Thomas Elder & William Elder)
« on: Saturday 19 January 19 16:57 GMT (UK) »
Can someone please clean and fix this photo of my two uncles.  (Thomas Stewart Elder born 1912 & William Johnston Elder born 1914)

Would love to surprise my cousins with this photo.

Thank you.

Here's a very quick try.  I'm very short of time right now, but will do better later.  There will probably be others also.

Thanks Janice, but I will spend more time on it when I get home in a few hours. I think I can do a better job.

Hi Janice

Just to say what a lovely photo you have. I especially love the little boy's  shoe lace being undone - a typical little lad  ;D

I would love to do a restore but these days it takes me ages, especially with all the scratches.

Love the photo.  Oh my Thomas - what a big hat you have!!    ;D  I noticed the shoelace too!!  Typical!

Nice scan.    Andy your restore is much cleaner than mine.   ::)  And Gadget's will be too.   ;)   When I posted this I suddenly see things I missed.  :(

Thank you "Handypandy" & "Wiggy"

These are lovely.  My cousins are going to be thrilled. 

Wish I could do this. I try, but not very good at it. lol

Thank you Gadget for the compliment. I love this one as well.
