I think I have managed to do a better scan. The photo is so damaged it is hard to copy

I've managed to lighten it a bit, but can't do too much as a lot of the original details are obscure.

can you rescan at a higher resolution. This has been scanned at a very low 72 dpi and needs to be at least 300dpi to see the details better.

there is a tutorial at the top of the board if you need it
