I use an Epson V700 scanner (which is normally great for improving anything) and Aperture 3 photo software by Mac, but I also fed this one through an Olympus programme, and even photographed the photograph with both my Olympus digital SLR and my Sony digital camera. Out of approximately 14 versions (both scanned and photographed) this one was the best result. So, I'll just have to remember the Blue Bomber as she was. Cheers!

The only problem was it only came with a manual transmission and I refreshed my shifting skills very quickly.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714440790407126206noreply@blogger.com
