	Joe Yes, most image processing software has various bells & whistles that allow you to play with an image (e.g. a scanned photo or document) to enhance certain features. Personally I use Adobe Photoshop, but there are several other popular choices. In Photoshop, you can adjust sharpness, contrast, brightness, colour balance, hue, saturation, etc etc. I tend to just play around with the various settings until I get a result that I'm happy with!

	It depends which format the document is in. some programmes provide a means of altering contrast etc to improve visibility. Paul
