Not from that particular image, I'm afraid - it's only 15K.

Perhaps you could rescan at a higher resolution?

Thank you for responding . I'm afraid i don't know what 15k means?  The picture was sent to me by email so cannot play around with the actual photo on my scanner. Is all lost then? poli :-[

Hi Poli  :)

If you can't get the person to send you a larger scan, it might be worth having a look at this site:

http://www.clwyd-mi.co.uk/

Lee has been taking photos of all the old headstones in Flintshire and Denbighshire parishes.
