Grandad in colour please?
« on: Saturday 15 October 05 22:02 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone - I've seen some of the impressive work on photos and thought I'd ask if anyone could try to add some colour to this picture please.

This is the only surviving photo of my grandad Michael. He died before I was born. I know his hair was dark and his eyes were green if this helps.

I would be very grateful if someone can help.

Many Thanks

I just cleaned this up a bit for our color gurus to have a go at.

Hello again - I'd just like to say a big Thank You to deadants and Manof Kent for all your help. I'm really pleased with the photo of my Grandad. My aunt and uncle(his son and daughter)will be too  - as they were babies when he died and only have this one old photo which I can now show them in colour.

Much appreciated - many thanks

Regards

Hi Reprise - that's great . Thank you so much. I thought it might have been Grandad that wasn't straight!

Thanks again
