The photo below is of my Grandad who sadly passed away last week.
Question..... Is it possible to fix this photo using software to 'remove the creases'? Apparently in can be done in photoshop.
Its going on the front cover for the 'funeral service schedule' with a more recent picture of him on the back.
Thanks in advance. I can always pm the original photo if it helps.

The photo of him was when he was in the Royal Navy before D Day...... He was on the tank landing crafts.

Aww mate - I'm really sad to hear your loss. I've got a mate who is a designer. Let me see what I can do for you. Have you got a high res image?

Will do bud, I've asked the question - so if it's doable (as in if he's ok to do this for you) then I'll get a copy off you. I know he's super busy at the moment but don't see this being too strenuous.
I'll let you know as soon as I get a reply buddy.

Thanks mate

Hello bud, in response to my thread, I can clean that up for you. My email is on my profile if you could send me the full res version.
Sorry for your loss to.
Let me know when you need it back for.

Send me a copy as well. I'm quite handy with photoshop as Shady can testify. :grin:

Thanks for your messages guys. A friend of mine has kindly had a go at it and made a pretty good job of restoring the photo.
Thanks anyway :smiley:

No worries, if you need anything else give me a shout.
Elvi, does have a certain talent with Photoshop, but it usually involves my head on someone else's body! :grin:

People used to be very keen on keeping the "negatives" of stuff like this! If you have a stash of old photos, it may be worth sifting through to find the negative, you can then get it reprinted exactly as it should be
My Dad also did D Day with the 101st American Airborne... the stories are incredible!

I would like to get my grandads war records at some point. He didn't really talk to much about his experiences but I do kind of wish I'd found out more.
A few things he told me that spring to mind about D Day..... He though it was just another training exercise on the day. He told me that the soldiers got a tot of rum on the landing craft. His tank landing craft got hit by a shell and he was as only 1 of 3 survivors.

Find out as much as you can! especially if older members of the family are at the funeral. Too many people these days are not wiling to show an interest, which is so sad considering what so many people went through
My Dad was "SOE" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Operations_Executive, and there are absolutely no records, or medals of operations he was on, all we have are his memoirs that were put together a few years before he died. He was heavily involved in Bletchly Park, and the setting up of X Stations just after the end of WW2... very significant stuff!
