I've had a try, but, the scan could be a lot better. See the scan tutorial at the top of this page, regards, John.

Thank you guys so much.  It was frustrating - I was only able to get a tiny image of the photo via a copy, and once enlarged, it loses pixalation.  It is so lovely to get a clear image of the face. Thank you. John

 John , can you post the small copy without enlargement, i.e. it's
 original form. I want to try something. Unfortunately I won't be able
  to try it until probably next week.

              May work and then again may not ;D ;D ;D
