Hi William,
Your photo could be better restored if you could do a scan at  300/400 dpi. There is very little for the restorers to work with.  There is a tutorial at the top of the forum for guidance re scanning.
Good luck, I envy people with great photos like these.

Cheers,

I don't think he's asking for a restore Di... just adding a photo by the same photographer.

Hello There,

I presume the person addressed to "William" was supposedly addressed to me?
Anyway, I saw this post on here and saw that it was by the same photographer. I only just started playing around with Irfanview photo free software yesterday. The photo was of my great grandma.

The image I posted was actually scanned at 600dpi. Because you cannot post images higher than 500kb on here I went to the section of the program of Irfanview : "Resize/ Resample Image".
Before I resized it I ticked the box called: "Preserve Aspect Ratio (proportional)." I didn't tick the box entitled: "Adjust dpi based on new sizes."
I only just started doing this yesterday.
I didn't put it on here for somebody to do a restoration.
I will post another version of the photo on here. I am still getting used to the programme.
If I DID want a restoration (which I don't thank you by the way), would this give somebody "more to work with?":

Thank you very much.  :) ;)

Hi...to meet the requirements for restoration on this forum the file size is too small at only 75kbs. You can post a file size of up to 500kbs on here which is recommended for best results and a good printout.
Hope this answers your question.

Hello, yes thank you very much. :) ;)
My apologies. I have just realised there is probably a big difference  between  a restoration  and what the person  wanted doing with the image they originally posted at the beginning  of this topic . That would explain why the original  topic image of  Frank Palmer posted  was around 67kb. And so would  have  to have been a lot higher  for it to have been put on here for  a restoration .
Apologies again  I am a novice, haha! :)
The photo I scanned was scanned at 600dpi. It's file size came to 735.57 kb. The width in pixels was 1541 wide by 2460 high.
I put it into Irfanview. I don't know what I was doing wrong, but it seemed like I had to do a lot to it before I saw the file size coming down to anywhere near 500kb. I scanned it at 400dpi, and it came straight out at around 300kb. I played around with it in Irfanview and I think it has now come out to around 429kb.
So just for future reference please, would this be any better? It just looks really big and massive on the screen, but I suppose the bigger the better maybe?
Thank you.
