Hi there

I would like to add my restore more for the nose. I felt that the nose was the most important. To me the other excellent restored had something not quote right with the nose.  Have a great day.

It now appears that its rife over on Reddit where this goes on exactly the same way. Many requests, little or no thanks.

Hi this is my try and thanks Mowi for the higher res photo. My stance on this was not to mess with the face too much. its not clear whether she had a stern look, or softer features so i left it as it was and simply removed the damage. Hope you like it!

Sorry if you have gone over this but i cant find it if you did. Scanning at top setting or as high as it will go is great as long as you scanner isnt interpolating and its a dedicated scanner. All in one printer scanner copiers are horrendous and introduce fluffy edges where there were none to start with! Once gain sorry it covered this topic.

Kind Regards

Neil

Alas with any sharpening its the resolution of the image and the file compression letting the sharpening process down. If its possible to scan again http://www.image-restore.co.uk/blog/saving-your-images-correctly-for-photo-restoration/ using the tips on this post then maybe something more can do done. I know that it may not be possible as the original may be long gone but its always wroth a try! File compression, grain and resolution are so important when restoring old photos, and i sure you have heard it a million times so ill shh. :0)

Of course the best time to get the best file is from the scanning stage. Its best to scan the image and obtain the best information before choosing your file format. http://www.image-restore.co.uk/blog/saving-your-images-correctly-for-photo-restoration/ This short article shows the affects of JPEG compression and why simply saving at 300 dpi isn't always the best option which so many people give as "advice" for scanning image ready for restoration!

Most probably the original would have been scanned by an all in one scanner copier printer which produces this kind of fluffy over sharp scan, see this link for more of an explanation.

I hope this helps
