 A big thank you to ‘Med Max’ who was kind enough to donate his skills to repairing a damaged photo of George Daley (a marine on the ill fated H.M.S Prince of Wales). Max, a commercial graphic designer, has been using PhotoShop to restore peoples treasured memories since 2020, when one of his friends asked if he could fix his damaged old photos. More of his work can be seen here or email Max
