Please can someone make a cameo of my Gran?
« on: Wednesday 21 November 07 19:32 GMT (UK) »
Dear All,

Please would someone be able to make a cameo of the young girl at the front of this picture please?  It's my paternal Grandmother, who died before I was born :(  I don't have any photographs of her alone.

I hope the quality is ok & I've resized it correctly  :-\

Thanks,

Debbie

Hi Debbie, Can you rescan this at between 300-600 dpi. This is only 72 dpi and becomes very pixilated when enlarged.

Hi Irene,

Unfortunately, it's a copy of a scan that was emailed to me.  I don't have access to the original :(  Before I posted it, I opened it in paint & used the stretch/skew & reduced it to 25% of the orignal size.  I know this is a silly question, but if I post it larger, will that make a difference?

Thanks,

Debbie
