That's very impressive - some commercial services might not do so well!

+1. I'd be surprised if anyone could to do better without a very significant amount of work!

Things are LookingUp.... A photo from my back yard :-)

Yes, I would doubt warehouse stationary could do better. I wonder if they sub contract out that sort of work anyway (maybe overseas?), because it is quite time consuming and specialist stuff to get looking good. I presume it will be quite pricey.

Thanks for all the warm fuzzies people. Floydbloke was happy with the outcome, which is great.

I have done some digital retouch stuff in the past and I'm thinking of doing it 'semi-pro' again, so I would be interested in knowing what someone like Warehouse stationery charge as well... or if there would be much demand for removing the Mother in law from the family portrait

A bit left field, but you might want to give Fiverr a go as well. Yes, I know, you will have to pay but you can only rely on the goodwill of others for so long. Restoring and colourising a photo takes time and skill and those that that have these skills should be fairly remunerated. I appreciate that many will do this out of the goodness of their hearts, but you do end up getting what your pay for.

Today is our wedding anniversary and I presented 'er indoors with a framed print of the restored photo.

Many points scored.

Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?
