Doesn't the white bit go all the way down to her waist, in a V shape?

Yes the colours work nicely but being aesthetically pleasing is not necessarily the way to go with restoration and when faced with the ambiguous (is that the word I need ?) then one has to make a decision.

There is always the dilemma ~ do we just go with what we can see, however bad it is, or try to resolve the mess

It's the same with colourising ~ the Victorians in particular often used odd combinations so all we can do is look at the tones and make an educated guess.


Colours and tones can be changed very easily so I guess it's really up to the owner of the photo to say what they fancy ~ but it's GREAT fun to play with colour combinations

Impossible to tell what's happening ~ all we can do is speculate and discuss

To everyone that has worked on my photo, thank you so much, i've saved them to show my family, i love them all, just having this photo of my gran when she was so young means an awful lot to me, its a shame a lot of people didnt look after their old photographs.

I am amazed how much the photograph alters with each different colour, in my eyes anyway lol.

Once again, thanks to everyone xxx
