beyond Redemption?

I`ve been asked if I can do anything with this photo, Its been scanned from a newspaper! To be honest I not sure if much can be done for it. Certainly I cant do much with it not having photoshop, what do you think?

How about that? It's maybe a bit dark though

Out of interest, was it printed recently? My brother in law was in a picture in one of the big papers. He spoke to the newspaper and they sold him a copy of the picture.

Would that be an option?

No, he`s tried the newspaper and they dont have an original photo.

I know it might sound odd, but could you not fill in a bit with a pencil, then re-scan it?

It's a half tone image - made up of dots of varying sizes as is common with newspaper and magazine printing. There's really nothing you can do to improve it significantly, and it just isn't worth the time and effort in trying.

You are right CT, I did make it a little better myself, but since finding out why he was in the paper I`ve washed my hands of it. Thanks to Gaz81 for having a go and for the replies.
