A couple of scruffy photos
« on: Friday 21 October 05 09:45 BST (UK) »
Having seen the magic you clever people can work I wonder if anyone would be kind enough sometime to have a "go" at these two pictures.

They're not as old as Millerina's ancestors, but I'd love to have them looking much clearer.

I tried to put them here but despite following Berlin Bob's instructions to the letter all I got was a small box with a red X in it.  So I've attached them - fingers X

Heres a couple of interpretations of the difficult one  ;)

I always forget to do something before I submit... I've just made the little girls smock top (?) a little more natural.

Hi Jan,

Seems difficult for me to get much more detail out the the wedding group.

Cheers

Yes, I don't think the wedding picture has much information in the dark area, so the only option I can see is to create some new information.

What I am working on is a brand new setting for them. I found some other pictures on the internet, stole bits from one, some from another and a door from a third, and I've got to this stage so far. I am now on the lookout for legs for the gent on the left and a dress, hat and hair for the woman. It looks to me like she may have been wearing a fur coat of some kind, and yes, I know in the picture below that she looks completely wrong but I haven't got to her yet...
