How fortunate you are to have this old photo. Love the girl's dresses w/sashes. I'm wondering if you plan on getting this restored, it'd be a perfect picture to frame.
Barbara,
I love this photo too. My great-grandmother was a seamstress and probably made at least all the women's clothes.
I'd love to get this photo restored or at least a better Photoshopped image. I do have an improved copy that was made years ago. It's better but not great. My guess is with all of the improvements in photo correction I could get a pretty nice restored copy. I need to add it to my list of things to do. Given that its the oldest photo I have of this family, I should probably move to the top of my priority list.
It looks like it would be a good candidate for photoshop. I had to restrain myself from downloading it and seeing what I could do!
I am enjoying your series and just spent half an hour going from "you might also like this" to "You might also like this post. All interesting. Now I guess I have to come up with a post for today!
Thanks. Kristin! I do quick retouches on the photos I post on my blog, but I haven't done anything with Photoshop. It's good to know you think it can easily be repaired. Thanks also for checking out my other posts, and I hope you find the right inspiration for your own post today!
I didn't mean it was easily repaired, just that I thought it was repairable. Those marks across the faces make it more difficult. It would take a lot of time. But it's a great photo and would be so beautiful repaired.
Kristin - Thanks for the clarification. Frankly, I'd be happy with any improvement. I figured the face would be an issue. I had one of my dad's photos copied and Photoshopped by my local camera shop, and they did a great job. It's not perfect, but it certainly is better than it was. Having this fixed might be a nice Christmas gift for myself this year.
