Could some lovely person brighten this photo up please

[sharonboon]

Hi
I have attached a photo that need to be brightened up and possibly look a bit sharper. Could anybody help please?

Thanks

Sharon.

The boy and the lady appear to have moved, so can't get much detail without making it up, sorry.

Hi Sharon,

One of the problems, this has been posted at a very low 29.05kb, when you attempt to brighten it, a lot of the detail is compressed. There's nothing at all wrong with the resolution at 600dpi - it's how the image has been saved that's caused the problem. When you try to sharpen it with it being out of focus, this what we see :





This is how Jim explains it :

The restorer's have done a cracking job, but there's always one and unfortunately this time - it's me !

Sorry Pels, but I have a different opinion.      600dpi creates a much bigger file that requires a lot of compression to resize if not done correctly.  I would prefer to see a scan at 300dpi (which is industry standard) and thus requiring less resizing and subsequently, less compressin.
