And what resolution (or "megapixels" of the camera they were taken with? There is only so much information in the digital picture, so if they're hard to read now, there may be a limit to what you can do. What software are you using to view and print the photos? Irfanview (www.irfanview.com) is a FREE graphic wiewer program for Windows. It's easy to use, and has a pretty good set of features. Or there's Photoshop (or a "limited" Photoshop Elements or LE), or PaintShop Pro. With any of these programs, you could zoom in on areas of your wills etc, to make it easier to read. You could also try adjusting contrast, colors, or using "sharpness" filters to bring out more detail. You would use any of these programs to do the printing, too. But unless you have a really good printer, you may not get readable copies. You could try selecting a smaller area of interest in your photo and blowing it up to a printer page size. An alternative, if like me you don't have a photo printer, is to send digital files to a photo shop for printing. Most "one hour" photo places can do digital prints; they're better than you can do with a home printer, and probably cost less. Kraig __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
