Hi

I don't think the problem is with the photograph. I think it is in the scanning of the photo into digital format. The reason I reach this conclusion is that the photo only takes 47K in memory. This will make the photo look grainy.

Try setting your scan dpi to 600, and scan it again. Then try adjusting the brightness and contrast as needed. When you save it, make sure that your software is not set to "condense" the photo.
