The only photo of my maternal grandmother - can it be sharpened please?
« on: Thursday 05 October 23 20:19 BST (UK) »
She was Elizabeth Wright nee Doughty b 1888 died 1965

If some colour could be added that would be fantastic but I would just be happy with a sharper image if possible.

My Try.
I could not sharpen her face anymore without it looking too much like plastic.

I can't thank you all enough.  Every one of them is a miracle when compared to the original. 

My sister has dementia & is in a nursing home.  She told me the other day that she couldn't remember what our grandmother looked like.  This is the only photo in existence as she hated having her photo taken.

Thank you all once again

I feel for you and your sister, Carole; I was the chief carer for my mother-in-law who had it. It's just the cruellest disease; you lose them twice.

A couple of black & whites from me, the second one cropped to put the focus more on your grandmother.

A big thank you once again.  I am going to see her again on Saturday & will show her all of them so she can choose which one she wants in her room
