Hi All, is it possible to lighten up this communion photo, it was taken about 1925ish, I can't see my friends face very well because it's so dark,
cheers Fae Janemarie

Hi Janemarie,

Best regards George
Scan at 300 plus for restores please. Scan at larger dpi for small photos. Don't forget to crop the scanner bed out! (Them's the white bits)
Please feel free to alter any work by me for the benefit of the Poster.

As you wanted to see the face better, I have concentrated on it, and sharpened / enlarged etc
Hope you like it
