Hi and welcome to Rootschat...If you have the original photo.....for best results photos should be scanned in colour at a resolution of 300dpi and saved as best quality 100%...this one is only 72dpi and heavily compressed so a lot of fine detail is lost. You can post a file size of 500kb here.

Wawwwww,That was good and quick,I have adobe photoshop 9 but I failed to get it that good,What did you use to get it so great.Regarding the original tes I do have it its a B/W one very poor condition though.
many thanks.

You're welcome...I use Photoshop Elements 5 but I have been "Playing" with photos for five years so keep at it and you will get there with practise ;)

thankyou very much,I will have to spend more time with Photoshop and find some old photos
-
A good scan is the best way forward...in full colour and a minimum resolution of 300dpi...600 for very small photos.
There are some good tutorials online to give you a starting point...youtube is a good one....Just google "Restoring photos with Photoshop 9"
Then when you're confident... you can join us here ;D

It took about two hours using Photoshop Elements 5.0...I guessed it was later than National Service days.... Their hair was too long. ;D

Treetotal.Many thanks for the link you gave,Very interesting ideas there.
Had a go I did do one item but it was very difficult using a mouse.When you see my attempt don't laugh as its only my first,Looks a bit silly really well did it for experimental reasons really.
Many thanks.
