Is there any help for this badly faded wedding engagement photo? Any improvement would be appreciated.

full background blurred.

Goodness, what a lovely restoration. I am not sure about the technical aspects of what you posted but quite sure it will be helpful to anyone else who would like to take this on!

Thanks to all for having a go at it. I am more than pleased!

I am laughing now because I am editing my response because I had used a frequently used internet abbreviation meaning "Oh my Goodness" and the program changed it into "Blimey". I'm not even sure what that means in UK English, so decided I had better change it, ha ha!!

Hahaha blimey guvna!
