This is a rather faded and jaded photograph of a brave man.  Can anyone please make it a bit better please.  Many thanks.  R.

Is your image a blow up of a smaller sized image? Is it possible to post the original size?, i have some software which does good enlargements from small images.

Cheers.

Thank you for that, it IS so faded isn't it?   :-[

Is the attached version any use.  To be honest, I am not sure that it is any difference in size. 

Very grateful for your time.  R.




Edit.  Whoops!  yes there is!   ;D

Tried, but very difficult problem given the small size. I thought my software would do a better job, but here it is anyway.



Cheers.
