Help Reading 'shaded' wills
« on: Tuesday 27 January 09 08:55 GMT (UK) »
Hi - I have paid and downloaded several wills from the PRO site,  but one of them is so badly 'shaded ' (sorry not sure how to describe it)  that it is impossible or very difficult to read,  is there anyway of doing something to the image to make this easier?

Hi Debbie

There are ways of enhancing the view, if you have a photo image software such as photoshop etc such as reversing the black and white.

You could also put a piece up here and see if anyone can read it or make any suggestions.

Not sure which "PRO" you mean but have you tried complaining to them about the quality of the image?
