well you have done prety well there kelona & to be honest you are not going to get far with this particular photo, if i were you i would try something else, copies of newspaper photographs are very difficult to do anything with, hope you keep trying it is a facinating hobby.

I'm not sure if this is better or worse but I'll post it anyway. I had to do them seperately becuase they needed different things done to enhance them.
I assume you can read it but if you can't I just quickly transcribe it:
Private James Erly of the Northumberland Fusilier: a South Ossett soldier, who was reported wounded and missing on May 24th and was recently reported killed on that date. He was 34 years of age and unmarried.

What a shame. :(

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for trying with the picture, I know it is a very bad copy from a Newspaper but its better than nothing. I thought it was very bad and would be difficult with all the dots on the scanned picture to correct it but I am glad you all had a go anyway.
And for those who are just learning hope you get better pictures to try on, this one wasn't the best but you all did a very good job.

Betty
