Hello Omega,

Welcome to Rootschat and the restoration board. Just to assist us poor old restorers , could you re-scan the photo at 300 ppi or more and could you select just the photo , without the scanner bed. You can have up to a 500k file. Should you have any problems , have a look at Cazza's scanning tutorial near the top of the board.
