Hi Matty... is it possible to rescan the photo at a higher resolution? It would be a shame to spend time on it for such a small photo. A larger one scaled down will print out much better. If that is the only one you have, I can see what I can do for you.

Matty... still a bit small, but much better. I will have a go and post it back up.

Matty, I did a quick job to see how it will turn out. I think we need a higher res, the faces are quite distorted when you zoom in. Here is a preview... I can get it much better, but if you could rescan at 300 dpi and email the photo to me, we will get a much better result. Don't try and post the photo here because it will be too big. I will send my email address on a personal message.
Regards, Peter.

I'll ask himself to look at it when he comes in but I agree the resolution is a bit poor, can you beef it up a bit?
