In the photo I was working on the photo was so poor in places that I couldn't actually see much detail - so not a lot to lose. My restoration attempt isn't perfect but I think looks far better. It's to be used in a family ancestry book. Before and after pics attached. (I have a basic scanner and need to learn about scanning with different light settings which I didn't actually know existed). Many thanks for your input!
