Hi everyone! I know this photo is in bad shape! But if anyone could do anything with it, I would be so grateful! Thanks  NIK

Hi Nik,
                No real improvement.
          For future reference always scan in colour mode and at 300d.p.i
   at least.

Thanks so much Tomkin!!  Unfortunately I don't have the original. This is the only copy I have and it was sent to me through the e-mail.  I wish I did have the original though! Do you think it will make a difference if I print out the copy I have and scanned it at 300 dpi??
Thanks!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hi Nik,

         Very doubtful my friend. It would probably make it worse,

             Never mind, you win some you lose some,

Hi Nik,

best regards George
Scan at 300 plus for restores please. Scan at larger dpi for small photos. Don't forget to crop the scanner bed out! (Them's the white bits)
Please feel free to alter any work by me for the benefit of the Poster.

wow Miagre 1 thanks so much! Sorry it took me so long to get back on here, but they never sent me an email notification so I didn't know anyone else had posted! So sorry! I didn't want you to think that I wasn't extremely grateful! It looks great. I love it! THANKS!!   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
