Default Very very cracked photo :(

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.

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.
