The Downs Kids

This photo is of Bessie (age 2), Reva (age 7) & Ray (age 5) Downs.  It was taken by Menlove Studios in Provo.  There isn't a date on the photo so I'll have to look up the kids birthdays to find when this photo was taken.  The original photo was a 3x5 & on first examination it seemed that the only damage was to the edges of the photo.  Once I looked closer, though, I noticed that the whole picture is severely scratched from years of movement against another object.  I also noticed that all 3 kids faces were damaged in the development process.

I'm happy to say that I was able to repair all the damage plus correct the damage that was done during development & that this picture is now "better" that the original.
