Dear Mudge, Irene and MJB,

Thanks for having a go at this photo for me. Everyone's efforts have been excellent.

It turns out the the original I posted was actually an enlargement from a much bigger group photo that I discovered today. They are right at the back and very small which may explain the poor quality. However I have scanned this now in the hope of extracting a better enlargment and the file is 18MB.

I plan to work on this later tonight, if I posted the cropped version would anybody be interested in restoring it? I though it might make an interesting comparison.

Many thanks again everyone

Amy

Hi again,
Seems funny that the file size is so small when it is scanned at 300 dpi :-\
Anyway here's a quick attempt to improve it
