I have loaded this up for Mum, she took it a while ago. Jono
I will leave her to add her comments...


Here is the orignal print after we scanned it, authentic sepia...

Superb composition with so much to see - wonderful ~ John

This photo was taken long before jono was born ,he has a recent one of his own .maybe it would be fun to see it ..Diane

A lovely shot diane, you must be happy to have a new copy, it is magic what can be done now with the old favourites we have kept.

Thanks for sharing your photo also Jono, you know if this was mine I would crop down the middle and use just the half with the boat.

Cheers Jan

A smaller version of jonos photo would look good but would loose the image of Catbells the fells behind ,magical name and place .Diane

Hi Jono,

Looking at your version, you've done a great job of reconstruction, but I felt there was a little more in the image - I shifted the levels to bring more detail out in the image, then added a sharpened layer to give it just a little more depth:



I couldn't resist adding more of a sepia colour to it, as it looked more faded B&W than sepia to me:



I thought it only fair to give Jono's image the same treatment though - just to even up the generations...

Hmmmm, still not there - needed 'grain', too:





There, a nice 'then & now" pair... if you want 'em big enough to print, send me some bigger files and I'll do 'em both again...

Cheers,
Stuart

i hope jono can do that as i for one would like a nice pair .on the wall maybe .its been alot of fun .diane .

WOW they look amazing. Looks like Mum wants me to send you those files.
Thank you so much.
I will send them tonight. Thanks again. Jono

Stuart excellent editing, I would hang them on my wall !!
