    I have a family photo of a previous holiday. My grandad is in it and he is nearing end of life at the moment. It's a physical photo. I dont know how this has happened but I found the photo again and it has been scratched badly. It's actually only me and my coat, but I had planned to get this photo made into a canvas. Does anyone know if it is possible to fix this?

    Oh I was trying to attach a photo of the damaged section but it's not giving me an option to add an image on my phone :(

    I think it let me attach an image in subsequent posts but just not the first!

    Someone could scan it and fix in Photoshop. Shouldn't be too tricky as it's mostly the one surface with a single (relatively speaking) colour?

    Yes it's mostly just the purple colour, thankfully half my face wasn't ripped off 😆 I was gutted when I found it, I'm not sure how it happened at all.

    Do you know who or where someone might take a look at it for me?

    If you can scan the image with the highest ppi/quality as possible, it should be an easy enough fix in photoshop.

    I’ve seen folks post images in twitter and Imgur and usually someone is kind enough to help them out. Maybe there’s a graphic designer or someone competent in photoshop that could help here

    Thank you. How do I scan it with a high ppi? Is my phone good enough or do I need something else? Sorry for the stupidity, I don't have a clue about any of this.

    Would that have anything to do with your query in common that? https://ibb.co/DR6SmS6

    It doesn't seem to be a difficult repair, if I had a High Resolution File it would only take 5 mins.

    To me it looks like the photo has got damp and then stuck to the photo above. When separated the emulsion has come off.

    Thanks all. I went to Reddit and asked for help. Someone helped me out and since then my grandad has passed away so I am very grateful for the help. Have ordered a wee canvas so hoping it turns out well on this. Thanks to all :)
