Hi Mark, many thanks, "so little information in the original image", I thought that might be the case but it's always helpful to have someone who knows what they are doing confirm it. Your suggested solution looks great, thank you very much. Kind regards, David

The .tif image here dates to 1905; it is the original and is not at all clear. I have played around with a copy of it for a while but I really need some expert help. I have uploaded the .tif, a crop from a larger .tif saved with no compression, to preserve as much detail as possible, which is unfortunately not a lot. It is a registered design of watch movement and should show the outlines of the bridges and cocks, somewhat like the photograph also attached although that is a hunter layout whereas the .tif is of essentially the same calibre in an open-face layout. Ideally, I would like the white lines around the bridges and cocks to be clearer to show the resemblance between the two clibres. I am using Affinity Photo 2 on Windows 11. Thanks for any help! sha-001_1905_23__274_d_1a.tif

Thanks to you all, very helpful Regarding the square corners, I guess the only way to hide these would be to delete the background and export to a png which preserves the transparency.

I want to crop the scan to the borders of the postcard, including the round corners. I have Googled, searched the help and YouTube videos and I still don't know how to do this. I'm using the latest version of Affinity 2. Thanks for your help!
