Default Question

I am a fan of polaroid/retro photoss and enjoy all the old scanned pics.
Part of the charm of these is the old style and look but just now and then I see photos that would benefit from some restoration. Usually it's because the colour has shifted a long way from the original or sometimes because the harsh flash has bleached out some detail.
I have done some restoration and reposting on OCC now and then but I'm cautious about overdoing it. Often it only takes a few minutes but it's worth the trouble for a what is essentially a good photo.
I am happy to try to fix any pics on request but obviously there is no point in excessive duplication.

I'm reposting some from this thread as examples that I think represent worthwhile improvement but I'm open to other views, - are they best left alone?

PM if you don't want to clutter this thread.
BTW, I don't do fakes or uncensoring , just cleaning and adjustments on colour, light and contrast.
I'm aware there is a thread for restored collections as well.
