Can anything be done with this?
« on: Tuesday 25 September 07 16:00 BST (UK) »
I only came across this pic of my Nana recently - had never seen it before. It's not very good quality - any chance it could be smartened up?

Tah, in advance!  ;)

Here is a quick clean for you Stoney.

A higher resolution scan would be much better to work with.

Regards

Harry

Hi Stoney

A quick one from me.  As Harry says scanning between 300-600dpi would get you a much better result.

Thanks, all, for your efforts - don't have access to the original I'm afraid   :'(

But thanks for trying anyway!  ;)

Irene - was that cross and chain there in all the fuzz of the picture, or did you add it? Just don't ever remember my nana wearing one  ???
