Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / How to bring up faded writing?
« on: Saturday 11 February 06 17:13 GMT (UK)  »
I can't remember, and haven't been able to deduce from the net, which light it is that brings up faded writing?  When I was in Wales in 04 I took some photos of pages in the Family Bible with names, hoping to be able to bring them up, but only one entry stands out, from 1717. 
Who in North Wales might have whatever is needed to bring it up?  Archives people?  I will be back in Wales next week, and the people I have contacted on spec haven't replied.  Would I have to take it somewhere (Big book, no transport) or would the right kind of light alone be sufficient, if I could get the appropriate lamp?
Thanks for any help

Family Bibles / Ultraviolet or infrared for faded writing?
« on: Saturday 11 February 06 17:01 GMT (UK)  »
My aunt has the family Bible with a whole host of potentially useful names.  Unfortunately only one stands out, dated 1717.  I took photos but can't tweak the faded writing into legibility.  From the net, I can't even work out what kind of light it is that would bring it up. I am going to North Wales, where the Bible is, next week, and I if could find out where and how to get it looked at or hire a camera or light or whatever needs to be done, at least it would get done.

Any suggestions, please?
