any chance of rescanning at 300dpi. This has been scanned at a very low 96dpi and a lot of the detail gets lost when we zoom in to do the restore.

I've had a quick play with the low res.

Its the original  scan that makes all the difference.  If this is what was sent to you I don't think rescanning this copy will work.  ??? ??? ???
Is there anyway you can get the person who sent it to you to rescan at a higher res.?

hi irene,

sent an email off to the sender of the photo and asked for it to be scanned at 300dpi, i have been assured it was, only thing i can think of is that it was saved as a bmp and not a jpeg.

when i recieved the photo i saved it as a jpeg and posted it.
