If no one has done it after 24 hours I will have a go but I'm sure you will find a lot will in the next 12.

Welcome to gimp chat hoienh
The picture is very dark. I opened it in Gimp and used color > brightness and contrast and lighted it as much as I could. I then selected one girl and used a very small hard brush and painted over the white with a dark blue, then made a new transparent layer above that and painted in a very tiny white dot and then gave it a 2 pixel blur.
This is going to be next to impossible because, not knowing the colors of their eyes, it wouldn't look right.
It can be done but it is going to be very time consuming to get it perfect.

Perhaps you like a little better this one. I have took the colour very close to the one to be repaired, but you decide.

Don’t be afraid to start over. It’s a new chance to rebuild what you want.

Well done molly! the photo needed some more of brightness. I've tried the same to the photo before just in case it can be useful.

looking better all the time Issabella, the photo is very poor quality so it will never be perfect. Looks like a happy group though.

Yes, Molly. surely it's wanted because it is representing good times more than a good photo to keep. Molly you gave it good brightness, how did you get it? Anyway, my last try was too heavy and the programme didn't let me it.

First I went to colors > brightness and contrast, then I went to unsharp mask, then I went to levels, then curves, just kept playing around with the sliders until it looked better, There are lots more things to try but this is the day I am trying to catch up on some much needed cleaning around here, lol
Edit: It is hard to get at the eyes cuz by the time you blow up the size, they are so pixelated, it is hard to see the edges.

Thank you Molly, I take note about means to give brightness. You are right about how difficult it is being so pixelated. But I think it's better now it was. :gimp

Nothing done to the eyes, just a bit of color adjustment.

Thanks your looks pretty good as well.
I just used the Levels, three eyedroppers (Black, Gray & White points).

Odin,
I had forgotten about this technique. I always end up forgetting things that I get some time without contact. :roll:
By revealing that "just used the Levels, three eyedroppers (Black, Gray & White points)" this aroused my interest by recalling this technique.
I ended up reviewing some very interesting videos and materials.
It was pleasant to recall and relearn many interesting techniques that were already fleeing to memory.
So thank you very much! :bigthup :tyspin
