Need some help repairing a very old photo


Recommended Posts

Its fathers day in a few weeks and I wanted to repair / make as clear and new looking some photo's of his passed away parents, as I could.

I managed with the one of his Dad (My Grandfather)

Original

My repaired version

This is the one I am having problems with, it doesn't seem to matter which options / filters or anything I use, it seems to look worse than the original.

I was hoping there would be some way to make it less blurry, sharper and more detailed, I know if the detail is not there its gong to be difficult, but even if it was just less blurry and more clear for him it would be great.

Im sorry I don't have anything to offer for the help, so if no-one wants to take it on, I understand, but thank you to anyone who does :)

It looks almost interlaced, which it can't be as it's not video. May work as a deinterlace filter though? Also this looks like it's acquired via taking a photo of it, perhaps you could get it scanned properly if not, or even done by a photo lab?

They are superb, thankyou very much :D

Any chance someone could do color? THAT would be sweet! I have several old pics as well.

Yea that would be very cool, I think it would be pretty difficult though
