tommy or anyone else, i increased the pic size of the picture attached of my granda.

obviously it is now blurry but is it possible to clean this up and really bring out his features, i notice from the picture as you look at it his left eye, his right looks different...this I believe was the case.

just a thought.

i will check back in a couple of days as my internet connection will be down.


thanks,

scott

Hi Scott...both Tommy and I did the best we could with this one so increasing the size won't increase the available pixels from the one you posted...you would need to ask the owner to scan it at a resolution of 300dpi for an improvement to be made...I increased your image as far as I could without  distortion.
As this was Tommy's restore it wouldn't be fair for anyone else to work on it without his permission.

Hi Scott, I changed his right eye  for you..is this what you wanted? It'd be great if you can get the original photo rescanned at 300-600 resolution so we can get a much better result and it would be much better for printing and wouldn't be pixelated.. send me a pm when you get a chance about this . sorry you'll be without internet connection for afew days..been there..might as well not have electricity without internet..lol.. Regards, Tommy.. thanks Carol for the input  :), Tommy
