Any chance of making this image clearer please?
« on: Sunday 11 September 05 10:56 BST (UK) »
Wonder if it is possible to make this picture of my Grandmother Amelia clearer please?
I removed her image from a picture taken with her foster family in Row Town Surrey c1900.  Gran had very dark hair and eyes.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Reyz,
I'd love to have a go as I think it can be improved, even if only a little, but is it at all possible to give us a higher-resolution scan?  This one is less than 5k, which is very little to go on.  The more ks, the easier it will be.

Hi Pru

Thanks for your reply.  My husband is going to do the higher-resultion scan  later he says.   (I am clueless)   So will re-post picture.

Thanks a lot

No probs Reyz.  I have had some success with tiny pictures of my own in the past, and they looked much worse than yours!  The trick is definitely to start with a nice high-resolution scan.
Looking forward to the new pic!

Hi again Prue

After talking to husband, don't think you will be able to help.
My picture was a copy of the original.  I scanned my copy and sent it to the Home Gran was in.
So the attached is from the scan..  enclose a darker version but suspect no use.  Hope that makes sense.

Not too worry, at least I have a picture Smiley !
Thanks a lot, anyway
