Arthur Harold Kells (1887-1963) for cleaning

[maddys52]

In response to Carol's request for work, here is the only photograph my mother had of her father. He was a fireman on ships, I think the background looks like it could have been taken on a ship, not sure. Anyway, just a light clean would be lovely. I like old photographs to look old, not like they were taken yesterday, or too fake looking (with no offense intended, everyone has different tastes).

Many thanks in advance.

It does look like he could on a ship doesn't it. I agree with your sentiments, there are many AI apps that search the internet for matching facial features that turn the subjects into modern, plastic looking images. I will do this one too and I'm sure you will get others. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you all - Loord and japeflakes, and Peter - really beautiful work. Becoming spoilt for choice now. I really don't know how you all work your magic. Thank you all for keeping to the feel of the original.
