Can anyone help
« on: Monday 18 November 13 11:23 GMT (UK) »
A friend of mine has recently unearthed a photo from the late 1940's of her parents with her 2 brothers. Both her parents are dead and she thought  the photo would make a framed Christmas gift for one of her daughters who has begun family tree work.

 As she has no computer or printer she asked me if it would be possible to enlarge the photo and print it out for her.

I've found that it will print out reasonably well at A4 size but has some scratches and white spots which spoil the effect.

Ayt help would be gratefully appreciated

Gosh folks, that was quick!

 Thank you both very much - they are great improvements on the original .

I'm sure my friend will be more than delighted.

You are welcome Pat.  Hope they print out OK for your friend.  Let me know if you find any scratches I've missed.

Just printed them both out a few minutes ago and they  are  both superb, Maggie.

I'm not going to choose between them myself  - I'll leave that to my friend.
