Hi

Is there any chance of a higher resolution scan ? 300 dpi ?
This is only at 96 dpi

Hippy  :) :) :)
Please scan all photographs at 300-600 dpi.
Please feel free to colour/modify any restores posted by me.
An acknowledgement would be much appreciated.

Hippy

Unfortunately not.   I am not sure how I can scan at greater dpi .. can that be done??

That is the photograph as received and the only copy I have seen or located.  I believe it may have been taken from the Encylopedia of New Zealand originally but I have no way of knowing.

I have searched around extensively to obtain a better copy without result.  It is the best I can do.

Thank you. 

I am not sure how but I have a copy of the original photograph (at low resolution) and going to try or find a way of scanning at a higher resolution and seee if that will assist to improve quality.

Much appreciated.

Hippy

Have found a way of scanning the photograph.  Has now being done at 400dpi.  Not sure if that assists or not.

Photograph attached.

my one ( second image not a lot better) best i can do
GUIDE FOR PHOTO RESTORATIONS PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR SCANNER BED IS CLEAN AND SCAN AT A RESOLUTION OF 300-600 WITH THE SCALE AT 100% MINIMUM.

If you would like a coloured version, details such as hair colour , eyes and clothing etc.  if known  would be helpful to restorers
