Hi sirbrennalot

Can we have a short version please!  Bren would be good I think! ??? What you you say?

Tiny I'd say, but you can do it! Paula

I am putting my mark on the thread to see how it goes!

This any better to go at? (untouched)

300dpi  at 230%

PDF file - open with adobe reader, magnify as much as neccesary, press "print screen" on keyboard.

Open graphics program and copy to new file at 300dpi.

Image is optimized for web.

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.

Not clever or impressive.  :(

Shows more how the image has been damaged perhaps.

A new scan without most of the scanner bed and presented as jpeg or other (tiff) would be better maybe.
