My mother's photo
« on: Sunday 15 September 13 14:06 BST (UK) »
I have attached a photo of my mother, that my father carried in his wallet when he served abroad.  Unfortunately it the only photo I have of my mother when she was young, and it has a fold in the centre of it.  Is there any kind person who could possibly make this picture better by removing the fold?

regards Trish

Hi Trish...This a very small file...you will get better results if you re-scan the photo at 300dpi...you can post up to 500kbs on here and yours is only 30+ The extra effort with be worth it.

Hi thanks for replying, however it comes up that the picture is too large at 900.  How do I go about making it smaller? regards Trish
