Great Stuff
 

Wow,
I'm not usually crazy about "vintage" stuff because the quality is usually low. But these are GREAT!

BTW, do you have any more of this girl?

She's a "look alike" of a friend and I'd love to have all you can find of her!

Also, feel free to post the damaged ones and if/when I have time, I'll restore them and repost them here.

It might be easiest to post the ones needing work all in a zip, but either way is cool.

Thanks for the CONSIDERABLE work you're putting into this!!

shaved
 

yes first thing i noticed was they are shaved

They were clean shaven as it was easier to touch out the 'naughty bits' - this was later done with an air brush - it was a requirement of the time. Some more to keep you going. No, I have not forgotten the ZIP - it's on its way but I have a living to earn!

Here's a zip of everything so far. These are the jpg's as no-one said what they preferred.

JPEGS are preferred
 

Yes,

JPEGs are vastly preferred in that a properly compressed JPEG is going to retain 99% of the original quality (particularly with B&W) at a fraction of the size. I'm not even certain that OCC supports BMP, but it's a moot point.

The biggest issue with B&W is that any fixes must match the luminance perfectly or the eye will see it, particularly on a decent monitor with rich black levels. For those with Photoshop, a combination of the Healing Brush and Clone Brush is used.

I totally understand about having to "earn a living" and time. I've misspent so many nights on this site when I had family obligations to attend to!
But if you get the chance to post a zip of the damaged ones, either I or one of the other many regulars here will likely be able & willing to spend some time fixing them. I personally love posting the "Before & After" versions so that everyone can see the improvement.

Your jpegs have been good quality so far. Obviously, the bigger, the better. You can always reduce the size or dpi later.

I shall put up some more later - got a major programming problem to sort out right now - so why am I here?????

thanks for sharing! :)

To keep you on your toes......

DiskoDaddy- as these are English ladies, she may be one of two well known models. She could be Pamela Green or June Palmer. The former is still making a living from selling copies of her pictures, though she is an old lady now. You could Google these names and see what comes up.

I have just discovered that Pamela Green died one month ago from leukaemia at the age of 81. Suprisingly, this was not mentioned in the local paper (she lived a couple of miles away from me). However, the lady that you want is neither Pamela Green nor June Palmer - still worth Googling though.

A few spare moments so I thought I would put some more up!
