Old Photo Touchup

[Sarah Neese]

Hey Damien,

 

I have a friend that asked me if it was possible to brighten up her moms face?  This is one of the only three pictures she has with her and obviously taken before digital was even a thought.

Well ... yes, if the digitisation is of sufficient quality.

Will you be able to get the actual photo, so you can scan it yourself?   This kind of work lives or dies by the quality of the scan.

[Sarah Neese]

I don't have a scanner myself but she said she has a better one at the office she can scan it on. 

[Damien Symonds]

No, that won't be sufficient.

Thank you!  I will work on getting that from her when our stay at home orders are lifted.
