Hi dinie,
This photo could possably be repaired successfully if it was scanned at a higher resolution giving a larger size to work on. I have had a quick go at fixing this photo but it's hard to see the facial detail.

Hi Dinie
WOW!! this is a challenge but most of us would love to have a go at it, but like deadants says a high res version is required.

Regards
Ken

Hi Dinie
A bit better but It beat me, but to be honest I dont know if it could be made any better 
Was in danger of turning it into a blur.
Regards

That's not a bad effort Ken. You seem to have been carrying the weight the the last week and doing a great job I might say.
I have come down with the flu and I just can't get myself motivated to do anything at the moment.
To top it off I have had a head cold as well, so I'm feeling rather miserable at the moment.
Hopefully, I will start to come good next week.

Hi Dinie
The problem is very little detail of the picture remains in the original, your mouth now has been highlighted, but truth be told it is made up from parts of your eyebrows. I think it still works ok
Also tried to smooth out your face a bit more, but lost more detail so I dont think anymore can be done with it, maybe someone can prove me wrong.
Regards
Ken

It's possible this image may reveal more detail than shown. In orde to get the best possble image from this, should:
Tell us what size the original is.
Use the best quality scanner you can get your hands on (so important).
Scan no higher than 600dpi (trust me, I've done a zillion images, anything higher is wasted disk space).
Scan in full, 24 bit color, even if the image is b&w.
(for puposes of posting here, save as jpg with NO COMPRESSION.)
Finally, for an image such as this, I would scan the image once, spin in around 90, and scan it again. Post both images here.

Hi vikki
It would be great to improve this picture, but I dont understand this line, why spin it around? Finally, for an image such as this, I would scan the image once, spin in around 90, and scan it again. Post both images here.

Ken

Scanning from different directions often changes the way cracks are captured. I've often done this. Afterward, I line up the two images in Photoshop, on seperate layers and merge the best of the two. I once restored an image with a line straight through the eye, but after trying this technique, the line almost disappeared on it's own.
