Title: gravestone inscription
Post by: zx123 on Thursday 22 April 10 23:38 BST (UK)

Hi,
could somebody do something to bring out the inscription on this gravestone please.
When i took the picture the writing was very hard to see, because the grave is quite old,so i wondered if it would be possible for somebody to do something to the picture to make the writing stand out?
Thanks

Hi ZX
I think you will struggle to find anyone able to transcribe the gravestone at those sort of resolutions. I have tried a few tricks and the quality is really not high enough. If you have a higher quality photo you could try adjusting the contrast that often helps.

Hi,
thanks for trying,
i wasn't really thinking of the picture quality and the lighting wasnt very good when i took it,
ill have to try and take a better quality picture of it next time i go to the cemetary.
