Is there some PShop trick to enhance the writing & engravings? If you want legibility, I would try adjusting the curve (however photoshop calls that), trying to enhance a portion of the "greys". Hopefully the letters are just a bit darker, so the idea is to increase the contrast between the letters and the surrounding area. Better to simply photograph it in the first place to enhance the contrast (without going overboard). -- "2/3 of Donald Trump's wives were immigrants.

Photographing tombstones.
[snip]
One other suggestion if... workable.. Wetting down the surface of the tombstone often (depending on the material and the ambient light, etc.) makes the etchings more visible. -- __________________________________________________ ___ Knowledge may be power, but communications is the key [to foil spammers, my address has been double rot-13 encoded] |

Next time you do so, play this music in your head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzeExJEnDwU It's so strange that you make this post now. If you read the comments, Peter, you'll understand why. I've also added a link to a photograph of my son's memorial. -- David B. |

It's probably also illegal to **** on a tombstone. Though one of my ex-wives said she was going to pour vodka on my grave‹but to avoid waste she was going to drink it first. Sadly for her, I outlived her. -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm |

I tried with the second of those there (big grey stone to the right), but there is not enough resolution to work. Just 8 Mpix (3264×2448 pixels). -- Cheers, Carlos. |
