Bring out your Photos Please for Restoring and Dating
« on: Tuesday 01 August 23 19:02 BST (UK) »
The photos for restoring and dating are a bit thin on the ground lately and the poor weather conditions
leaves us with idle hands  ;D

I was watching an episode of 'Long lost families' last night and the subjects were handing over cracked and creased photos.......... I was shouting at the screen (in my head... lol).

Me too Andy....and when I watch Antiques Roadshow and see the public show their relatives' medals along with torn or badly creased photos  ::)

Yes please, maybe you need the excercise as much as we need your damaged mugshots!

I have two photos that I would love “framed”, or slightly coloured. I don’t know if the people in the background could be made any clearer.  However, my iPad refuses to behave and no matter how much instruction I receive from kind RootsChatters, I can never get the photos reduced to the recommended “size”.

Okay, Carol, I'm going to rummage around while I watch the news about the latest indictments.

Lisa, I will send you a pm on size reduction after supper.

Thank you, Erato!  I will try again tonight as I’m sure I have other photos that are also very treasured.
