kooky have you read the scanning and posting tutorial at the top of the board...your file size should be just under 500kb..or you may need to rename the file if you've previously tried to post it and failed.
Hope this helps.
T.T.

I would like these a bit clearer please.
I know who some of the people are.
A date would help.
Also what sort of cars are they?

Hello Kooky,

I appreciate you have had problems getting your pictures on here ,but it would be better if you could re-scan the photos at 300 to 600 dpi , to give better resoloution , this will give better results. Have a look at the tutorials at the top of the restoration boards, they should help.

Hi Kooky

If you have the photos, can you scan them individually as a jpeg file and post each one separately.

Hope we are not confusing you further, but if you follow the scanning tut, fingers crossed you shouldn't have any problems but if you do please sing out.

If you don't have the photos, we will work with what you have posted.

Thank you for replies so far. I have no idea about DPI, I'm afraid! Scanning again fills me with some anxiety. I spent ages just trying to get them posted at all.
Any tutorial re posting or scanning pictures is wasted on me.I just do not grasp what is written.
Ask me to find someone in a BMD site or a census, then fine! Anything technical and I need someone here with me to explain every word and write it down in words of one syllable, in a simple list of things to do! Sorry. Please could someone clever try to improve the photos as they are? :-[

I think I have scanned this at 600. My scanner has decided to have all its instructions in Spanish :o

I've tried 6 times! I give up!!! :-[

Kooky, it could be a Humber but, to get an expert opinion, try this site.
