Hi Michelle,

Is it possible to scan it at a higher resolutioin? Maybe scan it at at least 300 dpi or higher.

Cheeers,
Di

Hi Di,

Thank you for your very quick reply.  I'm afraid the photo is one that I downloaded from someone else's tree on Ancestry.  I'll see if they can re scan it as per your request.

Thanks,
Michelle

If she is a relative why not contact the tree owner and ask for a better image and explain that you intend to have the photo repaired.

It would definitetly restore better if scanned at a higher resolution. This is the best I can do for now

Dear Treetotal & Thrishanne,  Thank you both very much.  I've recently heard back from the person whose tree I found this lovely old photo on.  Unfortunately he/she only has a downloaded version also so I am unable to supply a better copy.  Thank you Trishanne for your efforts.  What you've done has cleaned it up quite a bit for which I am most grateful.
