Below are the two pictures which I scanned at 1200dpi, saved at maximum quality then shrank to fit on here,
Hi Tabatha,
I think you might have shrunk it down a little to small. If you look at my compass example you will notice at the bottom of the photo some details. There is the filename and then in brackets the file size and then the dimensions of the photo in pixels. The big compass is 706x705 pixels. this is the size you should try to make your locket. Remember big is easy to work on.

Thanks for trying guys. It would have been nice to restore that one but at least they are only great-aunts and I have other pictures. This one looked like it would have been cute though.

It's a pity, but you can only manipulate data if there is data to maipulate.  Do you know what year the photo was taken?
I have run a few filters, and this is the best I can do. There is a ghotly second person I have enhanced.

Hi Tabatha,
Here are a couple of versions I have had a crack at. They don't look to bad considering.

If I had any hair on my head I would have pulled it out over the last two days  how the hell did you do that Colourising in the photo at the start of this posting.
I have tried most of the links to tuts but I just cant get to grips with it
I have PSP pro 9 & Adobe Photoshop CS so programs not an issue.
Any chance of an "Idiots Guide to Colourising"
Regards
Ken

Hi Tabitha,
Here is my revised version of your grandfather. I'm still a little worried about it though. He looks a little different. It's a real jugging act around the lips and chin. What do you think?

Hey, deadants - just bought a graphics tablet - the best toy I've had in years! The pen makes it so much easier to crop things. Looking forward to posting here and gleaning your advice!
For anyone in the UK, I'd suggest a pretty quick trip to ALDI, who are selling a highly specified graphics tablet with remote mouse and pen - bigger than A4 - plus Ulead Photoediting software all for just £24.99
(Advert over)

Hey Paul,
No advertising. Now that I'm the sheriff in this here board, I may have to throw you in the cells for the night.

OK ... in the interests of balance (and to prevent a shoot-out):
"Other graphics pads may be available from other suppliers. Mention of a particular item or supplier* in this thread does not imply endorsement".
* Especially the T-shirts on sale at www.nervousnigel.com

Ah, I feel much better now. The key to the cell door are on the hat rack next to the cell door. I also have a graphic tablet, but unfortunately when Apple upgraded to OS X the graphic tablet wouldn't work. The tablet maker has just but out an upgrade driver but it doesn't work with photoshop. Go figure.
