Title: Margaret Campbell working in shirt factory
Post by: lkmashek on Saturday 16 April 16 23:31 BST (UK)
This is a photo of my grandmother, Margaret Campbell (back row, third from left), circa 1920, working in a shirt factory, probably in Paisley, Scotland.  Can anything be done to sharpen this up?

This is far too small to realistically work on at a very small file size of 11kbs....it needs to be scanned at a resolution of at least 300kbs to produce a meaningful restore...you can post a file size of up to 500kbs on here.

Sorry, the original photo I attached was too big, so I went smaller.  Obviously too small.  Hope this one is better.

How big is the original?

That looks a bit clearer.  Thank you very much.  The original is about 10 x 10.  It's mounted on cardboard and has sort of a weird finish.  It's harder to view at certain angles.
