Hi Sandie  :)

I've had a go on my ailing laptop. The enlarged image is quite heavily pixellated and the small one is too small to do much with.

Hope this is what you had in mind.

On my bigger machine now - will see what I can do  :)

If you scan again, scan at 300-600 dpi and  without compression. It's better to have lots of 'dots' to work with  :)
