If you email me a higher resolution copy it is possible to make a much better job. It is not the only one I have done for folk in similar circumstances as i am involved in our village archive and have photos going back to the 1880's, even from glass plates found in sheds.

You should do some tutorials for us then Fangman ;) as my hubby has quite a few really old pikkies that I'm gagging to have a play with.

I was going to clone out curtains, but that adds to the age of the photo. Steps were :-
- Neat Image - high settings on most sliders
- Unsharp Mask
- Bit of cloning & smudging to get rid of line as much as poss.
