This was a rough print of an old photograph many in our family felt lucky to possess. We don't have many pictures of this old guy. It was a privilege to restore craggy good looks to this weathered face. When you are scanning a copy of a photograph, even if it is a copy of a copy of a print, be sure to scan with the final print size in mind. If your image is the size you want to print a restored version, then scan at 300dpi. If you hope to print a final photo twice the size of your original, then scan at 600dpi. Increase the resolution if you need to repair lots of damage. Hanging in a frame on the wall, these "copies" don't look quite so bad when they are restored! We are grateful for any images we can get!!!
