My recommendation would be don't try!

I'd be inclined to scan the photo and digitally 'restore' it using Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro or whatever your favourite tool is.

I have a freebie disc from"Your Family Tree" magazine called "Photoclean Express". It is for improving faded,jaded and damaged photos.
It is for pc. and mac.
You are welcome to it-I haven't used it myself.
Send me your address and I'll post it to you.

Let me re-iterate the advice you received earlier. If you have a scanner, or a friend who has one, scan the photograph in at the highest resolution possible, and use the various tools available in Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro to manipulate the image.
