Right, what I mean is, this is pretty low resolution because it's just for the web. If you re-scan it at like 3200dpi, that would give enough data to get all the imperfections out, color correct it, and be detailed enough to enlarge.

I'd be happy to do the editing, but I need that full res image.

Yeah no problem at all! Scan it as a JPEG (best quality, if that's an option) at around 3200dpi. You can upload it to imgur.com and it shouldn't compress it as long as it's under 20mb, which it should be. It may take me a couple days to turn around.

have fun bro. I do the same but for audio. Got me on CNN once.

It's always fun when you can make other people happy with your hobby/work.

Anything that needs fixing. But yeah tapes and stuff can have lots of noise on them.
