Title: Sgt Hamilton
Post by: perardua on Tuesday 11 March 14 08:07 GMT (UK)
Can anyone please cleanup and colour this brave young airman. He was my wife's uncle who was sadly killed when his Lancaster was shot down during a bombing raid over Druisburg in 1944

Hi.......Is there any chance that you can re scan the photo, it is only 21.7 kb's and you can post your photo up to 500 kb's. Recommended scan is 300dpi  and remember to change the physical size of the photo.

There is a tutorial on the board explaining how to size your photo.

With a bigger scan you get a far better result.

Hi...My software gives a scan of only 72dpi not 300dpi as recommended...did you just enlarge the photo as it's very pixelated.

   It still looks awful. Di, sorry.

  No It doesn't.

      You need to resize it with your software. drop it to 700 pixels wide and then
   
   have a look.  What is happening is that the pixellation is appearing. because you are enlarging
 
     the picture.   I think that you have done well. 

       You might be able to remove it if you wish by clicking on the Modify button on your
        reply and then un-ticking the attachment
