Can thisa headstone be made a bit more readable please
« on: Tuesday 30 March 21 16:20 BST (UK) »
I am about to frame this picture of grandad's headstone but when hung on the wall the writing on the stone is not very readable. Can anything be done with it please?

Hi - I've not added or taken away anything - just "burnt" the shadows in the writing.

Hopefully will print bette. The writing could go even darker but I think it would maybe start to look artificial.

Thank you for the restored picture.
I was not sure anything could be done to improve it but this is exactly what I was hoping for.
Brilliant.
