Hello...My friend gave me a couple pictures of his Uncle and Dad that he wants me to scan, fix up, and print for framing to hang on his wall.  Both have passed away and I want to make the best prints.  Of course I would want to make the best prints possible regardless...   Anyways,  in this picture of his Uncle we were thinking of replacing the background with something else like a nice scenery or perhaps something madeup in Photoshop like some difference clouds?, and maybe converting it to black and white.  I thought I'd post the picture here and ask for suggestions because I could use some...please :-) .  And if you feel like it please manipulate this photo.-
Have a good day..-Jeff

p.s.  I am aware that 300 dpi is optimal print resolution in most cases...but what about scanning?  I scanned these photos in at 300 dpi.  This makes for about an 18 MB tif file for the initial scan...I am thinking this should be more than sufficiant for an 8-10 print.  Or should I scan at a higher dpi...
