Title: Sharpen Image. Completed.
Post by: RBC on Monday 09 August 10 08:00 BST (UK)

I was very fortunate to be able to access some Catholic baptism records. I was allowed to photograph them, I also have written copies.

The photographed records are indistinct, should I be able to sharpen them? I have thirteen records!

I hope I have attached part of an image.

You can't, unlike in the TV movies, get something back that isn't there on the original. I would think it unlikely that the text could be recovered but there is always someone out there who might have some luck with the originals if they are reasonably in focus.

Sorry, the originals were OK it is my photographs that are poor.
