Read Message 2, as I found the pic without the writing.

This pic was actually cleaned up some years ago. I just wondered if someone could have another go and make it not quite so dark as you can't see where the lady on the left's skirt starts.

Pity about the writing tho - I wish I could get it off, but I can't :(

I sort of prefer the sepia type colour if possible.

I'm not in any hurry for this.

Good news - Ive got the original without the writing.

This is the one I'd like restored if it's not too difficult, but not toooo dark, either

If I did that it would take me literally hours and wouldn't end up as good as Rachel's, so that saves me a job!! lol

Merry - it's certainly a challenge, even if everyone said "no" they wouldn't do it - I would understand.

It would take any decent restorer hours !


So, jood, you do have the original photo ?

geniebug

No Rachel - no original - just a scanned copy - ignore the first two in Message 1, just the one in message 2.

What I meant was I had the original scan without the typing on it.

Rachel
20-09-12, 11:23
darn ... foiled again !

:o what's the matter now? :)

Rachel

I was hoping for a better scan of course :p

Cheeky Merry - we have to cheer Rachel up ;)

I don't think I've ever seen the actual photos. Rach, its ok if you don't do it I know its a lot of work.

Rachel
20-09-12, 13:02
Oooo Merry ~ I am shocked !

Will have a look later .... erm .... maybe ....


I'm sooo picky.

In my defence, I have to reiterate that my ability to concentrate this year has taken a nose-dive

Certainly can't tell it from the work you do choose to do, Rachel.

Nice, Rachel! Hope Jood likes it when she wakes up. Sure she will. :)

Merry

Lovely!

Don't they all look alike?

Rachel
20-09-12, 21:40
Lovely!

Don't they all look alike?

Hadn't even looked at their faces except to note that the one on the left is Steven Fry :)


I've got a 'gypsy table' with the same legs as that one

Wow I wasn't expecting it to be done for a long time Rachel - thanks very much - how long did it take?

They certainly all do look alike. I'm looking back at the photo I gave you - it just looks like it would have taken hours to perfect!!

Thank you so much and I promise I will never give you such horrible pics to do again. - That's two in a row you have done wonders with (meaning from such horribly marked and scratched pics)

:D Jood, believe me, I've had a lot worse pics than this to do.
No idea how long it took.

Some of them take days

Will look again at the weekend ~ didn't read your initial post properly :rolleyes: and the 1st pic (the restored one) possibly has a little more detail in. See ~ no concentration :confused:

Really? I thought my two were pretty awful when I gave them to you.

It does make such a difference having the photos restored though, and I know everyone appreciates the work done on them. Especially when the pics are well over 100 years old.

Have a good weekend, ours is only a day away. Can't believe they come around so quickly. Kids on holidays for two weeks now.

OK looked at the first pic and there is nothing else I can squeeze out of it.
'Steven Fry' and her skirt just disappear into that dark area.

Thanks heaps Rachel - I appreciate all the work you had to do on it.

I had to google Stephen Fry and yes there is a resemblance - maybe he was re-incarnated :)

Thanks for the PM but it says I can't reply because you have chosen not to receive PMs !

By all means e-mail it to me or you CAN send it in a PM via Photobucket.
Just click on the 4th thingy ~ IMG Code ~ as usual.

Rachel
24-09-12, 10:23

Thank you. It didnt take as long as some of the really bad ones I've done but there was only football on the tv so I had nothing else to do anyway !

It is really great that we can get our old scratched, torn photos looking like new again. Great service.
