It may of course be that the original negative if you have it, is better than the print and so you could work from that. If you do decide to buy or use Photoshop let me know off-list and I will send you instructions for the best method of sharpening with "Unsharp Mask." But don't expect miracles if the photos are so bad that you don't know what is in them. -- from Paul Knight (JapanEd) <www.japaned.com> 43 Burn Street, Levin, New Zealand 5500 Ph: 64 6 368 9192 Fax 64 6 368 9193 eMail: paul.knight at internet.co.nz
