Thanks Malky,what I was trying to do with it is for the photo itself to "fill the box" rather than also including the white surrounds.

Hi WR

What exactly are you wanting,  please?

It is only about 9kb. Enlarging it will just break it up into bigger and bigger blocks (pixels). See attached.

 You need to re-scan it to get it larger - what size is the original?

Hi

To make it possible to enlarge your photo the original should be scanned at 300 - 600 dpi
It is only 72 dpi at the moment

Hippy  :) :) :)
Please scan all photographs at 300-600 dpi.
Please feel free to colour/modify any restores posted by me.
An acknowledgement would be much appreciated.

Oh dear, WR, I think you might be in danger of copyright infringements  :-\ 

Best check with the website that you've downloaded it from. Meanwhile, I'll remove my pixellated enlargement.

I don't really think we are in the realms of Copyright infringement here.Indeed it is merely a privately taken photo.Also it was the person who took the photo who was requesting the,enlargement.

You didn't explain very well then, WR  :)

Why not ask the person who took the photo to rescan the original at 300-600 dpi and then put it up  :)
