Dunaweel Co Cavan, clean up please
« on: Thursday 25 October 07 21:40 BST (UK) »
Any chance of a clean up of the house that my Grandparents James Veighey who married Isabella Montgomery lived in, it was owned by Lord Farnham and was called  Dunaweel in Killeshandra, Co Cavan in Ireland.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hello Margaret,

Your photo is rather pixelated , would it be possible to re-scan it ?

Although you have scanned at 300 ppi , it may have been re-sized too drastically.

Take a look at Cazza's tutorial on scanning , at the top of the board. It may help you.

Scan your photos at 300 to 600 ppi for best results

Thanks to genechaser, gar, woodentop50 & ludovica for clean ups and comments. Sorry about the pixelated image (have already read cazza guide in advance, must have missed something). Will try and use a different scanner which I can scan at 600 dpi as this a poor photo. Can't rescan till next week,  will scan as jpg file rather than pdf next time.

Ludovica - this is the first posting from me of The Cottage at Dunaweel so you have got me intrigued to look at photos posted. My father says that the windows were really special, the house has now been knocked down and all the windows were thrown away apart from one which was made into a mirror, don't know where that went to.

Thanks to everyone again.

Hi Ludovica

I am very impressed that you searched for the windows.

I had forgotten that my grandparents were standing in front of the very same windows- attention to detail brilliant Ludovica.

Thanks

Wait till I rescan to get a better image !!
