Hi Everyone,

This is a old picture taken from a Newspaper, the photograph is of a relative of my husbands who died in the war.  Its very small and hard to read, can anyone make it a bit larger and clearer please.

Do you have the original newspaper cutting or is this a photocopy/emailed copy?

Hi Sorry,

No I don't sorry!! someone sent me the image in an e-mail a while back.  I have relatives who are also related to the James Erly and wanted to send them a picture but its not very clear is it.

 :-\

any photo or picture that is this small just doesn't enlarge - the dots just become bigger dots and nothing makes it clearer other than a fresh scan done at 300-600dpi then we can enlarge and try to make it clearer.

Hi jc26red,

I thought that may be the problem.  I tried to enlarge it but as you say the dots just get bigger too.

Appreciate you help though!!

Betty
