Help! Janet Jackson worse for wear!
« on: Tuesday 19 September 06 04:25 UTC (UK) »

Can anything be done with this? It is a scan of an old thermal xerox photocopy of an old photo. The subject, Janet Jackson died 1880.

Have done my best to post a decent scan but the copy is so bad I fear little can be done to save it.

cheers,
g a r

Hi gar

Here is an attempt to make the image look a bit like a sketch as there is not many features in the xerox copy to work with.

Cheers Sue

I couldn't get much out of the original so I've used it to create a digital impression of what I think she may have looked like
