Hi there :D

Is there any chance you can give a better resolution scan. ? You have scanned this at 96 dpi and we really need a resolution of 300 dpi to get any detail from the photo.

There are great tutorials at the top of the board if you need help.

Hello  :)

A Reading Vardo. The mollycroft dates it's construction to the early 1900's.

Would be good to get a decent scan Irene, may help with trying to sharpen the detail. A shame it's blurred.

George
Scan at 300 plus for restores please. Scan at larger dpi for small photos. Don't forget to crop the scanner bed out! (Them's the white bits)
Please feel free to alter any work by me for the benefit of the Poster.

I'm having a "go" at it George but it definitely needs a better scan.
