Grandma Eileen Richardson
« on: Monday 04 May 20 12:28 BST (UK) »
Hello everyone, hope all are well and staying safe!  This is a little photo that I have of my Grandma that am hoping you can work your magic on. I will be keeping my fingers crossed and Thank you in advance for anything that can be done to restore it. 

regards
Dee

Hi Mrs. F...Is there any chance that you could scan this at a resolution of 600dpi? The file is very small at only 16kbs and is quite damaged, you can post a file size of up to 500kbs on here.
The results will be so much better and will give you a good printout.

As Treetotal has said needs more to work on.  Something more this size perhaps which has not been restored. Sorry

I will have to try and get hold of the original that my mother has after lockdown. This is a copy that I had sent a while back and unfortunately my mother is a vulnerable person so we cant physically go to see her at the moment but thank you anyway x

Unfortunately not... We can all enlarge it, but it doesn't alter the resolution which is a very low 72dpi and a lot of fine detail is lost  ::)
With this level of damage, it needs to be scanned at a resolution of 300-400dpi minimum to get a good outcome.
