I have found a photo on a website of a group of people.Underneath them are what looks like their names, unfortunately they are not clear. I have tried saving this image to cd, floppy disc and my pictures so that I can try and enlarge the image. When I have saved them and gone back to open them it wont let me. Does anyone know how I can enlarge the photo so that I can view their names. Jayne |

Jayne, Might be easier if you tell us the website so we can see what kind of image file it is. Rose |

Hi Everyone Thankyou for your offers. I dont know about formats, I just copied and pasted it onto disc. Then I went into file and saved on floppy, I also went into file and saved in pictures. Judy I did email you but Im not sure if you got it so I am going to put the web address on here. If anyone could help I would be grateful. The web address is http://www(.)oldmapsprintsbooks(.)com/3623(.)htm It is the 8th photo down and is titled 'Foremen. South Docks 1882' Thankyou, Jayne |

I'm afraid the resolution is too poor to read the text. You can resize it in Photoshop but it won't help. I'd contact the print/book company and ask for a higher resolution copy of it or ask them to tell you what the names say. There's a contact link on the website. |

Hi Tamar I have been back on the site and I have only saved the page with the photos on, I cant find a contact site. I thought I had saved the whole page. Jayne |

Jayne, Very poor quality I'm afraid, even enlarged. My best take on the surnames from left to right, top row is Sales FitzGibbon Bingham Jones Robinson Laird and the first one on the second row J. Salisbury. Carol |

Jayne the problem is that these are low resoloution images. It's easy to blow up an image but that won't increase the resoloution. If you right click and save it any image editor will enlarge it. I have just enlarged view in XPs picture viewer and they are still blurred. At £400 they wan't you to buy the copies! Bob |
