Hi, wonder if anyone could help me please. I have been given this image by my aunt who would like me to enhance it for her.
i will give a brief history of this image first to show it's historical and sentimental value to my aunt.
This was taken around 1947 just after world war 2 when the kids in Malta were returning to full time schooling. malta was still under British rule and had seen terrible action during the war. This was taken during a school play. My aunt was the dressed up figure at the back, she is representing Malta. She said that the headteacher had taken the alter cloth and dyed it red for the clock and a local smith had made the helmet, bust and lance for them. The dress was an old bridal gown donated to the school. The first Labour Prime Minister of Malta attended the play and after the performance he had commended my aunt saying " You did not even bat an eyelash throughout the whole play. A few years later my aunt emigrated to australia and has been living there ever since. She is at the moment here in Malta for a holiday after all these years. This image was given to her by the family of an old school mate. my aunt was in tears as this is the only image she has of when she was a child.
she has asked me to try to do somthing with the image so that she can be seen better. She wants to take the image back to her family in Australia.
My problem is that I have not really done much on old photos and do not really know where to start. I would be very grateful indeed for any suggestions, advise and maybe a link to some good tutorials that could help me achieve this. Thank you and I hope this was not too long to make people too bored to read. She is only here for two more weeks so I need to do something fast.
