    Photo restoration specialist recommendations - 1904 family sporting picture

    Hi guys,

    I have a photo of my Great-grandfather who won a 1904 All Ireland Gaelic football final.

    The image itself is undamaged and has only discoloured over time.

    The image is of all the players who took part that day along with their names in the bottom of the frame. I am looking to have brought back to life along with a new surround and names printed. I am based between Dublin and Newry so I have ability to ship RM to UK if needed.

    Any recommendations of a company who would take on this type of project would be great. I can send a image if required beforehand.

    Thanks

    I had surprisingly good results running old b/w and discolored photos through an app.

    Android user so not sure about ios, the app is called colorize by a company called photomyne

    A guy called Richard on clio sport forum has some amazing skills, he has been given faded & creased photos & the results are excellent.

    There's a guy on Twitter - called Stuart Humphreys @babelcolour
    The restorations he does are truly remarkable.
    It might be worth getting in touch with him.
    You never know, if he thinks it a challenge, he might give it a go.

    Learning to fly has a strong interest in photography - might be worth dropping him a PM?

    I've done some restorations for members here in the past year. Feel free to PM and I'll have a look. No cost.... If it turns out good, a gift to the fundraiser is all I'd ask in return..
