Hello all!

I have an old sepia photo that has become very dog-earred and battered.... I have scanned and re-printed it, but it could do with a great deal of TLC to restore the picture. I class myself as a basic photoshop user, so resoring an old photo is well above my capabilities!

I don't mind the "ageing" look in a photo, but wonder how much better it will look if "restored"

Any recommendations (at reasonable cost!) for people/places that can do this?

Well that reminds me that I've got an envelope full photos and press cuttings from the '50s of my Dad in amateur opera.

I'm going to use it as a project for me to really get some photoshopping practice and experience, but if anybody's got any links to useful sites for helping the learning curve along......

Anyway, back to the question. What do the pictures need doing to them?

406 has very kindly offered to take a look at it for me (Many thanks mate!)

It is a relatively small photo of sentimental value taken in 1953, that has suffered through time, with creases, scratches, and generally bits missing!
