A major cleanup for my grandfather and mother please.
« on: Sunday 03 December 23 08:10 GMT (UK) »
This is my grandfather holding my mother Jan with a workmate in front of the breakdown saw that took his left hand above the wrist a few months previously in 1941. Mum just turned 85. Any improvement would be much appreciated. Thankyou.

Chris, back in 2012 Wiggy did a couple of nice restores of this photo for you. Here:

 https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=604377.msg4539201#msg4539201

And, for restorers wishing to add to Chris's collection, the earlier original at the start of the old post looks like a better one to work from.

My Try-
Yes, the same photo in the earlier other thread was much better to work with.

Thank you very much everybody for your contributions. Fantastic. I had forgotten about the previous photo from 2012. They are actually 2 different copies of the same photo, one being in better condition. Cheers, Chris.
