The silhouette edges aren't sharp either, and if you can sharpen the image judiciously without increasing the noise, that would help as well.
Thanks Steven, the image was saved as a tif but I exported it as a jpg after working on it. The file was big but quality was poor.I think we scanned it at home years ago so it may be a lost cause. I'll keep trying but because it is a hard one to replace. IT's amazing the difference in the quality of todays digital cameras when you look at these old film prints.
