Enhancing a photo

This is a picture of my dad and daughter and I would love it if someone can make it better and perhaps a little bigger so I can print out and put in a frame. It shows them both very happy and as usual my dad was making her laugh when she was 3. Many thanks Carol

How did you scan it Carolina as it's very small. The best way to do it is scan on a high resolution it will come out large then and a lot more can be done. If you try to enlarge this one it will just destort and go fuzzy.

Sadly, although the edges have scanned crisply, the actual content of this photo is blurred, probably camera shake. IMHO, I doubt there's much can be done to improve this.
 
I am in agreement with Curly but there would be a better chance were it scanned at a much higher resolution.
 
there are quite a few useful tips on this site here about scanning; https://www.scantips.com/

Part of it are a bit long winded and wordy, but its easy enough to skim read past these bits.

Hope this is of some use.
 
As others have said the image is not very clear although Sarah appears to have moved when the photo was taken as her head and face are less sharp than the rest of the picture!

photo (1).jpgWell I like a challenge..........!!! This is my best shot - I think there are other forum members better at doing this than I am. The lad bottom centre has a rip right through the mouth and nose so I've had to do a bit of guesswork in that area. John.
