Heres my effort
Looks a little blotchy plus have tried to complete the hat (that could be better too)

Photo restoration: For best results please scan at 300-600dpi

Feel free to use my restores for further enhancement, but please acknowledge my original restore/colouring thank you

Sorry, I'm not ignoring you... my service has been down for the past 5 days... thanks to all of you already for posting the photos.. I'm still trying to figure how to get to the 300 dpi.... I have one of those all-in-one machines (printer/scanner/copier)-- just got it, so I'm still trying to figure out how it works...  Will get back to you again if I'm successful at getting to the 300 dpi.... thanks... gail

Hi Gail...have a look at your scanner's specifications...some of the all-in-ones won't do as high as 300 dpi.

Cheers,
