my aunt has found a picture of her dad, it's quite an old one and she want to get some slighty larger ones made and give give a copy to my dad for his birthday, is there any good software and can anyone help to make it better?
She wants the bookie taken out so it's just my grandad, it's quite poor quality and it really showed when i tried to crop and enlarge.

Alan,
I will be perfectly willing to give it go, but you will have to send me the scanned photo by e-mail.
Also, start with scanning the photo with at least 600 DPI, preferably higher. (I know it creates a big file, but the more pixels to work with the better the result.)
And make the scan output a tiff file if you can.

Alan, I'll take the challenge too if you want someone else to have a go for you. Email as above the more dpi the better.

Hi Alan

As said a higher res file would be good to work with, I had a quick go with the one you have provided below

Hi Alan

I had a go with the file you sent me, really need a bigger file, the one you sent was 992 x 688, the problem is that it is still low quality, eg 42kb, and only 200dpi and the jpg artifacting is evident  could do with a saved as max quality, and more than 400 dpi,and saved a s a TIFF File, anyway I had another go, not the best as said needs a better file to work with, colour and black and white versions, if you can send mw a bigger file I'll have another go

Hi Alan

Pleased you like my efforts, dont know if you noticed I squished it up a little on the left hand side, brought the poster and board a little near the man, HE He,  :)

When saving your file save it as a tiff and at max quality please, if you cant save as Tiff save as jpg Max quality the larger the file size the better   :)

49 mb sounds about right Alan. It is a lot more than the 42 kb you sent before.

If you want to get rid of the man behind the counter, it will be interesting to see how good CS5 is with content aware fill!
