chrisharley9 Posted 21 September , 2009 Share Posted 21 September , 2009 Garry I agree with you as the 4th Bn were in Salonika in 1916 - probably a scanning error Best to PM Terry Denham Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piorun Posted 22 September , 2009 Share Posted 22 September , 2009 Is there a simple way/application to change to a negative? Right click,"copy" image, paste it to "Paint" or similar "artshop" programme, "invert" image. Hope this works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizard2250 Posted 26 September , 2009 Share Posted 26 September , 2009 Shred, I tried adjusting brightness and contrast from the image posted on the Forum and had little success as I had to magnify the image and lost resolution doing so. Maybe you could get better results from your original. Try magnifying a section to 200% and then adjust brightness/contrast/midtones. You may get a better look at the words. Good Luck, shawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
