hi, been a little while since ive posted as ive been but im wondering if anyone can help. ive finally got hold of an old black and white photo of an old man I know. it was from when he was in the royal sussex regiment in 1958.ive googled the uniform and its a green uniform. I would love it if it was possible to produce it in colour. if anyone would like to take it on i'd appreciate it. ive been wanting to learn it but work on my new product and website has taken over. http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x328/darloray/Markie_zps58eb5641.jpg

Thats a huge project! Extremely time consuming to make it look "real".

just to show you what you're asking up close, if you are looking for professional results I suggest you pay a for professional fee in freelance there could be somebody here to do it for free but it's not going to be a few minutes job I'll be surprised if even a professional wants to take on at that resolution

as it was our last day at work yesterday for Christmas my boss gave me a disc with the image file on. we contacted the newspaper that it was in and they sent him a copy of the original. as it was last minute before we broke up im thinking now that this is a scan of the newspaper clipping and not the newspapers copy. I thought there was still enough to go at.

i'll see if he has another copy when I go back to work, I thought as a lot of the outline was there, that it was possible doing it without zooming right in.
