Long shot, but can anyone enhance this picture - SORTED!

[Royalgaz]

Hi this may be an extreme long shot, but on the attached picture i am wondering if anyone can enchance the black panel above the door to read what it says. I am trying to find out where this pub was based and hoping that will have the answer. Sadly its a photo that has been passed on from the states, so i don't have the original, hence this is the best quality i can give. I can't ask the lady to resend it as it has taken some time already to receive it.

Thank you Gary

I may have a slightly better copy of it, but can not upload it to this site.

This is so tantalizing...you can almost read it I can read the capital letters, can anyone with super software fill in the rest?

Hi Poll, let me jump in here... I did PM Gary and he emailed it to me, but I couldn't see any improvement in the quality of the pic, in fact I thought the closeup of the sign already posted was superior.

But all I have to deal with photos is the Microsoft Office Picture Manager so you might see a difference with your fancy software

Cheers,

Could the first line read THE FOX INN PUB and the first word after that be Legend?

The actual area itself needs to be scanned on it's own, enlarged (400%or more) & at a really high d.p.i...
otherwise everyone will go blind trying.... blink*blink

Try also scanning to a better quality product, like a tiff...then save as a jpg with NO compressions (jpgs have a built in compression, so no need to make for more of a mess...
