Just found this photo of my parents with my sister who is celebrating her 50 wedding aniversary and would like this sharpened up some!

thanks so much! 
PS. I may have a few others to post for my project!

It would be better with a higher dpi. This is a very low 72dpi. If you plan to do print offs a resolution between 300-600dpi produce better prints.

I have a hard time trying to get them the correct size to post! I have the negative and a copy I had printed off at the store, but it is too big!

Hi Favre

I notice that you have another image posted that is very similar in quality. I think it looks as if you are compressing the images as well as scanning them at a very low resolution. You'll never get a good restoration with these.  See the guidelines at the top of this board:

Thank you for the information! I have just rescanned the photo at 600dpi, but still haven't figured out the resize trick yet!  I will try resizing it and re-post if I can figure it out!

Thanks to everyone!

Very nice! I sent my higher dpi scans to a roots restorer and she may post a better quality photo for me! But you all did a great job on what I gave you to work with!

Thanks so much everyone!

The pics are very pixilated still. Can you rescan with no comnpression and just sent them to me again

Thank you Iria and all the others that have worked on this photo!

You all are so talented and I really appreciate your time and help on my photos!

I have another one of my sister that I want to post, but I will give you all a few days rest!

THANKS TO ALL!

I know this was a hard one with the way my scanner was working!

Sorry!
