Please restore my great grandfather's Acie picture
« on: Saturday 29 August 15 07:46 BST (UK) »
My grandmother who is 84 years old is the last living child of my great grandfather and I would like her to have a picture of her father as all the original pictures of her parents were destroyed in a fire.

Hi Nikki and welcome to Rootschat...your photo is a very small file as only 7kb in order to give you the best possible outcome it needs to be scanned in colour mode and at a resolution of 300dpi or 600dpi if the original is very small. You can post a file size of up to just below 500kbs.
There is a helpful tutorial at the top of the page to guide you through the process. If you get stuck...just ask.

Hi,

The picture of my great grandfather is a saved computer copy.  I will try to locate the original.

Hi Nikkie, as Carol says your photo is very small. In case you can't get a better copy, I have had a go at restoring it. Of course if you can rescan you will get lots of better results.

Hi everyone,

I am back and i did find the original.  I just hope it scanned at the appropriate dpi.  By the way thanks for all the restorations tries.
