I have a really old photo that I would love to make an avatar out of,but its faded,and a little grainy.
Does anyone have a suggestion or a tutorial on how to fix photos like this,please?

If you could post a picture of it it would be easier to say what needs to be done. There is a filter in photoshop called "dust and scratches" that might help eliminate some of it.

Otherwise, maybe bump of the contrast and do some smoothing with the blur tool?
