One other thing you might try is to play with the brightness/darkness and the contrast adjustments. To do this, just open the photo in your photoshop program, do a save as (I agree with the other e-mail, this is a very important step), then experiment. If you've saved a copy, you've nothing to lose. But the bottom line is, if the photo is of poor quality to start with, and if the writing was just hard to read on the stone when the photo was taken, and if the original photo isn't available, there's not a lot you can do about the quality of the photo. If the photo was taken from a film print, you might ask the person to rescan it at a higher dpi - the downside is that it makes the photo a larger file, takes longer to scan and to send (when I send a set of shots in to a newspaper I freelance for, I figure at least a half hour for four to six photos to all go through my dial-up connection). The upside is a high-quality photograph. hope you get it solved!!!
