Family with Horse and Cart
« on: Sunday 03 February 13 11:03 GMT (UK) »
Hi Folks

I would truly appreciate it if anyone could improve this photo - taken around 1924.  The ladies are my grandmother and her sister - the kids are my uncles.

Many thanks in anticipation.

Hi Osprey,

Is it possible that you can rescan at a higher resolution of 300-600?  My software shows it scaned at 72ppi and the picture is too pixillated for my poor old eyes to work on.

This is what I'm seeing.

Hi Maggie

Sorry - I don't have the original - I'll have to see if I can retrieve it from its owner.

Thanks for your efforts - I'll re-post if I can get it re-scanned.

That's OK Osprey - hope you manage to re-scan.  I shall watch out for a higher res. version, which will make for a much better restore.

Best I can do - as Maggie said a better scan would give a far better resu;t

Cheers

Well done Maureen, you've improved it - I'm afraid I haven't attempted it  :-\
