thanks so much!

It would be better with a higher dpi. This is a very low 72dpi. If you plan to do print offs a resolution between 300-600dpi produce better prints.

I have a hard time trying to get them the correct size to post! I have the negative and a copy I had printed off at the store, but it is too big!

Hi Favre

I notice that you have another image posted that is very similar in quality. I think it looks as if you are compressing the images as well as scanning them at a very low resolution. You'll never get a good restoration with these.  See the guidelines at the top of this board:

Thank you for the information! I have just rescanned the photo at 600dpi, but still haven't figured out the resize trick yet!  I will try resizing it and re-post if I can figure it out!

Thanks to everyone!

Very nice! I sent my higher dpi scans to a roots restorer and she may post a better quality photo for me! But you all did a great job on what I gave you to work with!

Thanks so much everyone!
