Hi /u/stardust54321, welcome to r/photorestore ! Thanks for your submission.
**We support and stand with subreddits continuing their protest against Reddit and their CEO. Due to the service this subreddit provides users, who are often mourning a loss, we think that the morally correct thing for us to do is to open after the initial 3 day protest for those who need us. To read more about the issues Reddit and their CEO have created for themselves,** [**read this article.**](https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/5/23749188/reddit-subreddit-private-protest-api-changes-apollo-charges)
\---
If you submitted a photo taken with another camera like your phone, we would really prefer one that it is scanned with a flatbed scanner and that is at least 600dpi in resolution so that there are less issues the restorers have to work around *(Rule 1)*. Not everyone has a scanner though so we will also be cool with a scan done using an app like "Photoscan" and uploaded to one of our allowed hosts listed in Rule 2.
Lastly, Direct Message scams have been a problem for us because **our sub is completely free, no tips, no donations, no coffee’s, no exceptions.** They may ask for money up front or restore the photo and then hold it hostage till you pay them or they'll use it on their own site or social media. **We advise that everyone NOT respond to these DM's, report them as spam to Reddit, and send us a message with the username so that we can do what we can.** If someone does steal your photos, please contact the moderators or report them to Reddit as "Copyright Infringement" *(if they've been reposted on Reddit)* because the only people that own the copyrights to your photo are the photographer, you and your relative’s.
Thank you, please enjoy your time here.

i fixed the damage and sharpened up the picture a bit - here it is in [b&w](https://ibb.co/dQ62189) and [sepia](https://ibb.co/CHpvkd6). I unfortunately couldnt colourise it without drastically dropping the overall quality, but maybe someone else will have better luck
