Hi, you need to scan at 300dpi and NOT compress the photo.  I can see you have scanned the photo at 600dpi but by compressing (not using maximum quality) you have lost the detail - in fact its worse when its blown up as it goes all blocky

You can post up to 500kb on this board, this photo is only 23kb

as  Jenny has said  (hi Jenny, good to see you back) a better scan will get you better results.

Okay-thanks for the attempts as much appreciated. I shall go back to the drawing board and resubmit. For an over 70 yr old I am not doing too bad as I can do most repairs unless , like this one, there is very extensive damage Thanks again to all of you wonderful people, who I like to emulate in doing favours for others.
