Need some photoshoppery expertise.
« on: April 01, 2013, 02:52:14 AM »
So, my parents found a busted up camera in the mountains, the SD card is still good, is there someone real good at photoshop that might take a crack at pulling a name off of a card in a pic?  too much flash and I can't get anything but pixellated garbage...(which might be all there is honestly.)

That doesn't take skill; just some mastery of the software and a lot of patience.  I'm game.

It's a bigish file (more than my upload service will handle full size), want to pm me your email?

It's mostly wedding pics and Christmas pics, which makes me feel bad for the couple. 


I've toyed with the levels as best I can.  I can get their first names off one pick, but the last name is on another, and between the pixellation and handwriting I can't make out a thing.

No doubt.

Uno, check your email - I did what I could, and hope better eyesight than mine can make it out.

Yeah, I have the first names off some Christmas packages, with the bonus of semi-odd spelling for the girl's name, and I might have a wedding date.  If all else fails, there's facebook.

I've forwarded the shot to Mylochka, to see if her superior shooping skills can do more...

-And I've forwarded her try back to you.  She thinks the last name definitely starts with an H.

Unfortunately, those ones came in as tiny files no bigger than my avatar.

...I have no explanation for that...

It seems to me that the last name is definitely"[whatever the first letter is]-a-i-n", which suggests "Sain".  That IS a last name I've encountered.

Page up.  Facebooked about it.  Hopefully we get someone who recognizes some people.

Dunno, but finding my old pics on a site with the words "sinister by example" would come over a wee creepy.  ;yang;

And the Lord God said, 'Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language, and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech'.
~The Conclave Bible
