Help with removing a coupe of people in a shot

[NickTB]

Afternoon all, not sure which forum to post this to!

I need help with an old shot of mine. I took this 10 years ago and this is the only version I have after long everything in The Great HD Crash of 2018...

I'd like the two waitresses removed from behind my wife and her mum and sister.
I would attempt it, but I really wouldn't know where to start with a busy background such as this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That’s great! Thank you.
Yeah this is becoming a bit of a pain as it’s now a sentimental shot and my wife and her sister both what prints

So, thanks for this, How can I print it to A4? any way to increase the resolution?

You could try enlarging with Topaz Gigapixel

Who was it who always raved about gigapixel? @petersmart maybe?
Worth asking them if they could run it through the program to see what it would improve.

Or, have it printed on canvas. the texture should go some way to hiding a lack of detail.

I have Gigapixel, I will give it a go at 300dpi A4 size, will be too big to upload here though, PM me in morning with email address.
