Title: Four workmates in Cardiff about 1930
Post by: tonyofsplott on Thursday 27 August 20 17:21 BST (UK)
This is my mother Maggie Welsh with three workmates before she was married. Can the image be made sharper and the white facial marks removed please.

Please re-scan at 300 d.p.i. to give us a chance to produce good results. :D

The lady who owns the image sent it to me on email so I'll have to check with her whether she scanned it first. Will get back to you.

 If she has the original tell her to open the scanner software. You have the option to view the

preview   screen. In that screen you can draw a box around the four figures. when satisfied click O.K.

   Then scan at 300 d.p.i. The scanner will only scan the detail in the preview box. This means

    that you are only scanning the important detail.Save to a folder and then send the file to us.

    Any problems and many on here will help.

Thanks everyone for your efforts and advice so far. I'm waiting for the photo owner to get back to me. Incidentally, we have a shared family history interest because her grandmother is also in the photo.
