Hi

I'm not sure that there's a lot that can be done  :-\ It seems highly compressed and there's a lot of banding.

Anyone got any good filters, Ninja doesn't want to do anything to it.

Added - it's also not posting in the same tone as in my software - not sure why  :-\

Second one has been filtered a bit!

I think the problem here is possibly that it is a photocopy
Possibly of a newspaper article
Therefore it is flat and give nothing to work with

Hippy :) :) :)

I've restored a lot of photocopies and this is not the real problem.

Can it be rescanned to get rid of those bands and save with no jpg compression.

I've tried all my various tools but, apart from making it spludgy, I can't get anything to work on at all.

Attach what it looks like at 200%  which is the lowest that I would work on :(
