Any enhancements to this hundred year old photo would be really welcome.
Thanks!

Oh Sandy, that is one fine photograph. I think we'd all like to play with that one  :)

However, I've just downloaded and it's only scanned at 200dpi and is very small as well. Is it possible for you to scan at 300-600 dpi, please? You can put images up to 500 kb here.

See http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,198165.0.html  for scanning tips.

It would really be worth it because it is such a wonderful photograph. Lucky you  :D

If you have problems, just ask.

Regards

What a lovely photo! She seems to be smiling, a rarity.

There's that potted palm, again...it really gets around, don't it ;D

Cheers,

The detail in that drape and the chair are fantastic,  in addition to the dress . It's very tempting to start but no. Must wait  :)

added - I think the potted plant is on the verge of falling off the sideboard/chest  :o :o :o

Attempt THREE. First time around too big, second...tiny. Here's hoping-  :-\
Very pleased you all like the original though.

Oh dear Sandy  :(

It's still 200 dpi. I'll Pm you my e-mail and you can send the big one to me and I'll reduce it for the 500kb. It is so wonderful!

Added - I think you might have a lot of jpg compresssion in it as well which makes it appear more pixillated.
