Auntie Meg
« on: Thursday 08 May 08 20:33 BST (UK) »
This photo of Auntie Meg is about an inch square.  Can anyone improve it or is it too small?   Undecided  Pat

It isn't the size of the photo that matters - it is the number of pixels.

Someone will restore it, but if you want anything that you can print you really need to rescan at at least 600 dpi and preferab;t higher.

Ahah - it's all making sense now, Meg.
Lovely picture, as I said before - of the talented young artist.
Nice to see you again, Meg.

Sorry, Barbara May, just Margaret having a bit of fun!
Back to my question - do you know when the photo was taken - curious to know because of the clothes, and hairstyle, etc.
Hope you don't mind me asking?
Kind regards,

Paulene,
I don't know when the picture was taken but Auntie Meg was born in 1912 in County Antrim.  She has just died age 96 in Canada.

That helps to work things out.
She lived to a good age, then!
Long way from home, too.
Thanks, Pat Smiley
