Hello Julie,

I think really there are only one or two that can really do this pic any justice. I have cleaned it up a fraction, but needs a lot more.

Scan your photos at 300 to 600 ppi for best results

thanks Jim,

I can 'do' some stuff myself, but I think this is way out of my depth, i have just filtered this a bit, and suprised myself!!!

Hi Julie  :)

I think it probably can be salvaged, but we need a bigger scan first.  Can it be scanned again, at 600dpi?  this one's only 72dpi.
If it is then too big to post here, PM me and I'll send you my email address - you can email it to me and I'll resize it to fit on the board (or anyone who wants the bigger version can PM me for a copy).

Of course if you don't actually have the photo to scan it, we shall have to struggle on with this version!  ;) ;D  I'm sure we can make something of it (as proven already, it can be improved even at this size  :)  )

Cheers
Prue

awwwwww fanks guys!!!

I know i havent been 'about' much,  apologies..I have had a 'few' projects on the 'go'
as I have said I have tried this myself, but i'm just not 'confident' enough, and havent got the grasp of all the techniques to be able to do this justice, I know you all like a challenge  ;D ;D ;)

hugs
Julie
