An artist required for this one?
« on: Tuesday 01 May 07 09:30 BST (UK) »
I doubt much can be done with this one, but, you never know 'til you ask!  So if anyone thinks they could improve this please have a go.
It certainly couldn't be any worse!
Happy holiday, Abiam

You may get a better result if you scan at a higher resolution, it's hard to work on at present, 300dpi at least would be better,

PS .... I had a go anyway

Hi Abiam

It is a fairly straightforward repair job, using various tools and techniques but, as Yvonne says, it would be better scanned at a higher resolution.

Gadget and Yvonne,
Sorry I thought I had scanned it higher, having a feew problems with my scanner and my brain!
I think you've both done an excellent job and I'm very pleased with them both,
Regards Abiam

You're welcome Abiam  :)

Cazza's scanning tutorial at the top of the restoration page will explain about resolution & dpi if you're not sure of the difference between size & dpi (dots per inch),
