Hi Jmt and welcome to Rootschat... My software says this is only scanned at a very low 100dpi...and the file size is tiny...for best results and a good print out you need to scan at a resolution of 300dpi. You can post a file size of up to 500kbs here and yours is only 50kbs which isn't doesn't give us enough to work with.

Thats has an awful lot of finger prints all over it. Will make it difficult.
Restorers : Please do not use my restorations without asking my permission first. Thanks.

Good quality size scans will mean much better restores >> hint hint :-)

Gave it a go - I imaged a Christmas tree in the background so added some twinkle lights  :D 
Its probably just a window or damage on the photo scan LOL
