... I have been scanning more old photos, and also trying my hand at retouching and correcting.
I decided to work on this image because I met Percy's son John last summer and it was he who suggested I take my Aunt Joan's photos for scanning (she had originally lent them to him). I'm in touch with John by e-mail and have just sent him some pictures of his father...
The first image (left) is a small version of the original scan, which I then cleaned up in various ways - getting rid of stains, marks, folds and dust. I then processed the image to improve the contrast, sharpness and also indulged in a bit of artistic license and "improved" the highlights in Percy's eyes. I think I prefer the original sepia - but I also produced a black and white version - what do you think?
