"One more question .... I thought that most of the 'noise' problems where actually compression/JPG artifacts due to the 100 KB limit of the attachments .... Is it that 'bad' at higher resolution too? "

I have access to the original 1200dpi tif file I scanned. No compression. The noise Im refering to are major scratches and stains. The 100k limit is far too low to be beneficial(unless Im just really bad a posting images)and whats with the claim that I have not typed enough text to justify a replay(does that whenever use the quote button.)

Heres a crop of just his head at a width of 800, 1200dpi and jpeg quality of 70

Heres the image. Keep getting upload errors

Apparently the site cannot manage to accept a 97.7 sized file. So I reduced the jpeg quality to 65
