Newbie Help!!!!!

My mom recently passed away, she carried this photo of me and my mom and dad in her wallet for years. It shows. I have tried several different methods to try to restore it, but I am still a newby and everything I tried made it look worse.

Re: Help!!!!!

I agree the original photo you posted looked blurred. I took this photo and added neat image to it which helped some.

Re: Help!!!!!

This is the original image, but I had to reduce the size in order to post it.
What yall did was a whole lot better than what I was able to accomplish.
Thanks.

What program did you use to reduce the size?

Re: Help!!!!!

I have posted the Original Photo on the following website. I hope the larger size helps to get it restored.
Thanks

Re: Help!!!!!

If that is the original scan, it is far to small. Scan it at 300%, do the
retouching then print it at a reduced size. that should help a lot.
