Thanks for all the advice folks, I'm following it up as fast as I can. I think the main requirement is ging to be patience (I'm renowned for that!) and lots of time. The www.digitalretouch.org site is pretty good, isn't it? Encouraging too. Terry, the photo is in a "safe place"! It turned up again in our recent move and has been put somewhere I can easily find it again ... I use a scanner: I didn't get a particularly brilliant one, just one that'll get the job done; I spent the money on a good sound card!
