Sorry I have no idea why this appears pixilated - the image was HUGE - but  300dpi so I'm intrigued.

But at least you can see the person more clearly. 

Bet someone else knows what to do - I don't.   ;)

Hi Wiggy...My software says 120ppi and the file size is only 44kb
I gave it a go but as Wiggy says...it's very pixelated and a lot of fine detail has been lost in the smoothing out. Removed...not happy with it.

Quick one from me - got to go out.

I've added a bit of texture.

Wow great stuff
I know fine well my old Aunt, will be over the moon with these and the other family stuff you kind people have fixed for me. On the war memorial project, that many of you have helped me with, I held a wee display in the Local Church hall after our memorial service on Sunday, I had many of the pictures you kind people have fixed on display with many other Soldiers pictures from the village, It was great to hear so many of the older people there discuss who was who , and who worked with his son and so on, Thanks for saving and making so many of these people easily recognisable by your work.

Thanks People
You are all so kind

Cheers Matt
