60's photo alteration please for the The Yeates family from Worcester

[SUSANHORTON]

Would someone be able to help by making a change to the shade on the girls side of her face and neck. The lighting seems to have made those parts much lighter than the rest of her face and I was hoping the lighter bits could be made to blend with the darker colouring on the front of her face.

Black and white in the first instance please but a try with colour and sepia would be interesting too.

The Yeates family are from Worcester where this picture was originally taken in the 60's, but now spread in various places here in the UK and other parts of the world including US.

Thank you

You need to rescan the image at a higher resolution of say 600 dpi to be able to get a better result. I have adjusted it a bit

Thank you for doing that, looks good already.
I'm a bit of a lightweight when it comes to scanning and dpi etc, I never know how to set it. I know when I first scanned it; the forum would not accept as it was too large a file. I reduced it down in size on the computer, maybe I made it too small?
