Sorry my mistake! That will be great if you can rescan the photos.
Restoring is a lot of fun so if you are keen I suggest you give it a try. It does require a lot of patience and practice, but once you get the hang of it, it's a rewarding hobby.
There are a couple of free programs on the net (can remember the names off hand) you could try your hand at to see if you enjoy restoring before outlaying money on Photoshop (I use Photoshop Elements. It's reasonably priced and does most things the full version of Photoshop does).
Of course, you don't have to just restore old photos, but you can also have fun enhancing new ones as well.
There are also tons of tutorials to help you out on the net (plus the nice people on the restore board!

).
Look forward to getting the better scans!
