Hi

My elderly sister managed to send me a photograph today of our
grandfather. It was taken before he was killed during the first World
War.

Here is a copy of same:-* https://imgur.com/a/7XRdW

Were I doing it, I'd increase the contrast a bit and reduce the

creases
and that would be about it.


Just wondering if there is a way to make the detail in the photo more
visible besides increasing the contrast. Some fancy image processibg,
not sure if that exists.

By the way, seems that the lens which was used to take this photo wasn't
of very high quality. Or perhaps it's the combination of the lens and
the printing process which further reduced the detail.
