Sorry
Unfortunately  your image is only 72 dpi and its not possible to recover any more detail, than the image you have posted. You could try rescanning at a higher DPI ( 300 ).

Hi knowlite :)

I've merged your two topics because the photo is the same on each one.

As a scan of a photocopy, almost all the detail of this photo has been lost, so you may not get much of a response from restorers because not a whole lot can be done with the image.

Although there was no info in the photo to bring back, I had a little play and added some shading to get more of a face.  Hope that's helpful.

HI! All,


Thanks everyone for your efforts in attempting restoring a very dodgy photo.

Cheers,
