A larger photo would be needed for a better restoration.  It's only 6.74 KB.

Poli, what size is the photo you have been sent?  Is it any bigger than the one you've posted?

Poli, what size is the photo you have been sent?  Is it any bigger than the one you've posted?

The photo at that size was sent to me via email--i have aged 10 years here, trying various things  on my computer to enlarge it. This morning i managed to get a picture about 8 inches by four and 'save' to my docuiments but it would not transfer at that size when i tried to put it on here!!   


Studio1--Many thanks for your help--it looks good. poli
I know i'm a dimwit with this resizing --i've had trouble in the past but it really defeats me --so sorry to be a pain  :-[ poli

Poli, don't stress yourself  :)

If you were sent a tiny pic, there's nothing you can do to make it bigger for the restorers.   It has to be big (and high resolution) to start with :) 

Cheers

This is not going to beat me ;D

{She says] !!! several tries later i have given up.

I either get a Rootschat message telling me to 'rename' or for one glorious minute when i thought i cracked it--the message was that it was too big !!

poli who has retired to a dark room  ;D


P.S thanks  maidmarionoops for your pic.
