Thank  you, Lluis.  Yes, I frequently go for a sharper image than some

This was camera shop processing, from 1952, and had some scratches and flaws.  I used Neat Image to clean it up without losing detail, Focus Magic Level 1 to sharpen slightly, Photoshop tools to remove some imperfections, and then Silver Efex Pro 2.0 for final adjustments.
