Fix record so it can be read?
« on: Tuesday 27 October 09 14:57 UTC (UK) »

Could someone please try to enhance this record also so it can be translated to English?
Any improvement would be great!
Thanks!

Hi - I had a look and, although I can make the image LOOK like it might be more legible, it actually isn't.

It's too small - scanned or photographed at much too low a resolution. On enlarging, just at the point where you begin to think that it will be readable, the whole thing begins to pixellate. If it's possible, you need to rescan at at least 300 dpi (and I think that as this is text, 600 dpi would be better).

Mike

Thanks Mike
I will have to rescan it when I get back to the LDS church center.
