I can work with this but the scan resolution (the number of dots in the photo) is low - 96 dots per inch (dpi). This means that there's not much detail in the digital photo. If you have the original photo, I suggest that you re-scan it with the highest resolution possible (1200, 660 or 300 dpi). You'll get  a much better quality photo back!

Here's a link to a 'scanning tutorial' that explains how you can get a higher resolution:
