I would really appreciate some help!
« on: Saturday 12 July 08 16:08 BST (UK) »
Hello to you all!

I wondered if anyone could help me. The other night my destructive two year old got hold of a frame and ripped up a very treasured picture (see below). It shows yours truly aged approx 3 months with my older Sister and my Mom. My Mom passed away 6 years ago and photos of her when we were small are rare so i was devastated as you can imagine.
I have managed to find all the pieces (bar a slither) and glued them together to scan. This is the best i could do.
I wondered if anyone could improve this photo for me as i have seen other results on this page.

Thank you so much for your help.
Regards, Erica.
