My grandmother told this is my Great grandmother's Confirmation photo. So probably taken abt. 1891 or '92 when she was 11 or 12 years old.

Hi, missmilliemaam,
Your great-grandmother's face is badly damaged and faded. To give us the best chance of teasing out as much original detail as possible would you able to re-scan it at a higher resolution, please. You may have to play around with the resolution a bit to keep it under Rootschat's 500 kb file size limit, and just remember to rename it when you repost it  (just add Take 2 or something to the name).
Cheers,
Peter

If you have this photo can you please scan it at a higher resolution. At the moment the only feature I can see on her face is one eye.  A higher resolution will possible show more features.

Sorry Peter we must have posted at the same time.

I will rescan it ASAP.
Thank you.

Hope we didn't scare you away, missmilliemaam. In the event that you had trouble getting a better scan, I've had a try for you using the original one.

One more.  I agree with the others that more resolution would help.

LOL you didn't scare me away.  Sometimes there are long gaps in the time I can spend on my research due to my wacky work schedule and other obligations (doing taxes in this case).

I did rescan her at the most resolution my computer and scanner software would allow but haven't had a chance to reload her.  I think the most I could scan it at was 3400 dpi. I didn't see much, if any, improvement so it might have already been scanned at the highest I could get.

Thanks to you all for your help.
