IrfanView is a good free program that can sharpen pictures among other things. you can download it from Here I have used it and it is quite good.
supports a lot of pic formats.Reality is no background music.

You don't need to sharpen it - what you really need to do with that is to vectorise (convert it from a bitmap to a vector shape) it - there a very good free online utility for it here - http://vectormagic.stanford.edu/
Once its a vector file you can scale it endlessly without it getting the jaggies, and its easy to touch up wonky lines.

Try starting at a higher resolution such as 320 DPI (dots per inch) then vectorize.
High DPI should provide smoother edges to start prior to a vectorize.c2=a2+b2;
When buildings made with lime are subjected to small movements thay are more likely to develop many fine cracks than the individual large cracks which occur in stiffer cement-bound buildings. Water penetration can dissolve the 'free' lime and transport it. As the water evaporates, this lime is deposited and begins to heal the cracks. This process is called autogenous healing.

"Splinter"
Vector magic, is no longer a free download, can you suggest how I might get a "copy", or something similar.

They are apparently working on a stand-alone version, but its not released yet.
Just register on the site - it entitles you to two free online vectorisations. When I need to use it I register with a throwaway address. (temporaryinbox.com)
Firefox has a nice plug in that auto-generates an email address at temporaryinbox and lets you check it at the press of a button.
