Nell it looks as if we need a password before we can see your pic.


Is it not possible for you to upload it to the website ?

well done but Yuk ... that's a horror
Looks vaguely familiar though. Do you have the original ?

It's a very small file size

Yes I do have the original. I don't know what I can do about file size?

You need to rescan at at least 300 resolution (DPI) and at 100 % scale and then, when you upload to Photobucket, make sure your Photobucket account is set to the largest file size it's allowed.

For the free account, that' will be 1 Megabyte (ignore pixel sizes)

Pbucket has changed recently and I don't have time to look at it tonight .... will see if I can tomorrow if you get stuck.

OH is still on hols so I'm not really here

Hi Nell
When you rescan, can you please do it in colour ~ this should help save any detail/info
As it is, there's hardly anything showing

Just wondering if this is actually a photograph ?

I've tried to retain the texture of the print, rather than flatten it all out with a generic blur and degraining. I hope it's OK
