Title: Wedding Day 1943
Post by: graeme121 on Thursday 06 March 14 11:41 GMT (UK)
This is my Gran Robina and Grandad John on their wedding day 1943 in Fife, a little TLC and colour restoration would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Graeme

This is a lovely photo but the scan is far too small to restore.   You are allowed to post a photo that is 500kb in size, the one you have posted is 12kb.

 You need to rescan the photo, setting your scanner so it scans in colour and at 300 ppi.   Then resize the photo so it's size is just below 500kb.

If you have any problems resizing, their is a tutorial at the top of the board that may help, but you can also pm me and email me the photo so I can resize and post it for you.

Regards
Caroline

Thanks Cazza59 still trying to get to grips with new scanner think I've managed to resize to just over 200kb if that's any better
