Marybeth Miller-Taken November 1953 in USA
« on: Wednesday 20 September 23 06:38 BST (UK) »
Hello,
On Friday, September 15, 2023, I submitted a photo for colorizing and restoration.  By September 19, I had not learned if the photo was accepted.  It showed as pending approval and I wrote Customer Support asking if perhaps I made an error in submitting it.  I see today that it has disappeared from the files.  Just curious as to what happened.

 I am trying once again hoping that someone might please be interested in helping me.  The photo was scanned at 1200 DPI and was 406KB.  I was requesting auburn hair and hazel eyes with a medium blue dress with white trim.  Any information or assistance is very much appreciated.  Thank you.

Hello Joyce... might I ask on what type of scanner did you scan this on at 1200 DPI. Is the photo a genuine photograph or a copy of a sort?It looks very posterized. Almost like an effect has already been applied to it. Did you do any post processing after scanning??? Like in a phot app of some sort? Some nice tries at it already by Lords, RJ and Hoobalo...

Was just wondering if we could get you to produce a better upload.
