Hello everyone, hope all are well and staying safe! This is a little photo that I have of my Grandma that am hoping you can work your magic on. I will be keeping my fingers crossed and Thank you in advance for anything that can be done to restore it.
regards

Hi Mrs. F...Is there any chance that you could scan this at a resolution of 600dpi? The file is very small at only 16kbs and is quite damaged, you can post a file size of up to 500kbs on here.
The results will be so much better and will give you a good printout.

As Treetotal has said needs more to work on. Something more this size perhaps which has not been restored. Sorry

I will have to try and get hold of the original that my mother has after lockdown. This is a copy that I had sent a while back and unfortunately my mother is a vulnerable person so we cant physically go to see her at the moment but thank you anyway x

I resized it and hopefully this can help with restoration.

Thank you. Hopefully this resizing will help. 😀

Unfortunately not... We can all enlarge it, but it doesn't alter the resolution which is a very low 72dpi and a lot of fine detail is lost ::)
With this level of damage, it needs to be scanned at a resolution of 300-400dpi minimum to get a good outcome.

One from me

I give up ::)

Still seems to be a problem. Why do you think it is a high dpi (dots per inch) scan because it does not appear so at this end. Repeat the scan and see if you can get a file too big error:-)

Thank you to everyone who has given advice, and tried to restore the photograph. Sorry if the size isn't large enough. As my mum who has the photo and is currently shielding as a vulnerable person, I am unable to get the photo and she lives 250miles away from me. But as soon as I am able I will rescan and hopefully, this will be a better starting point for those who want to give it a go at restoration. Thank you

That's OK Mrs. F...We understood that from your earlier post, I didn't want you to get your hopes up when the enlarged version was uploaded to try to help. I will wait until you can get a better scan as it will be worth it.
