Hi,
you'll get a much better result if you re-scan, the image is 72dpi, so you loose a lot of detail

Carolyn and macbeth--my thanks to both of you.

macbeth --have never understood the  the technical workings regarding  'dpi'. i realise it makes a great difference but am not sure how to apply it.

The copy posted on here was not from an original photo but from a copy sent by email.  Does altering dpi work only from an original?poli. :)
