Hi Carol,

Just a quickie - off to bed now - will have another go in the morning.

Cheers

Hi Carol,
              Another quickie.It is best in these photo's
to crop the damaged part off, if no detail exists.From what I could
see it did not add anything to the photo any way.
Will try to do a better job if time allows.

Hi Carol,

I am struggling with this photo - any chance of cropping the picture and then scanning it at a higher resolution?
You can post images up to 300kb on here - and if it has been cropped it will be a lot clearer and easier for us to get better results.

Cheers

Hi Carol,

Still not brilliant - but you can at least tickle your mum's toes now  ;D
