How to improve a scanned image of a document

I received a scanned image (to 600ppp in TIFF format) a will written in 1782.

Most of the ink has faded over time, where only lower 1/3 is actually readable.

The scanned image of the will, is the best version I've seen of this will, to this day.

However, the majority of the ink is still quite faded to not be readable/transcribed.

Y at - it a hope of improvement in the image so that it can actually be readable, so transcription of the Act.

Thank you for your time, consideration, and cooperation, I really appreciate.

Hello! There are a few different methods, you can try, I would recommend save another file to modify/play with, until you reach your result desired. Play with the brightness, contrast and sharpness are some to help you improve the document.

Below, I've posted some useful links.

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Try changing the quality of compression high, or by lowering the resolution 200 (enough for digital printing), or both and see if it is still acceptable. You will always be a compromise with the size and quality.

  • HP MFP M277 dw: scanned image is not horizontal

    Hello

    I have problems with scanning.

    The scanned image is not right, not horizontal, the image / lines slightly tilting. The right of a line that is slightly below the line on the left. Looks like the book was a little twisted, but it's not. The left and right margins are straight and vertical, but the lines is tilted slightly.

    This occurs regardless whether I put the paper on the glass or using the paper feeder.

    My MFP is almost new, and this problem has happened all the time.

  • How to save a scan in pdf or word format using deskjet 1051

    I have not used my deskjet 1051 in awhile and I forgot how to scan.  I use windows 8 and if I go into the Panel and look to the top of the device which carry I can choose to start the analysis.  When I do the new scan jump to the high rises and I choose so Im scanning a photo or document, etc.  My choice for the type of file I want to create are: BMP, JPG, PNG, or TIF.  I need to create a document, not a picture. Also, when I type HP in the search for the computer, the only thing that appears is HP Printer Control. I know that it is very easy to scan on my HP, but it's late and my brain apparently went to sleep.  Can anyone help?  Thank you, April

  • HP 6510 - areas shaded on scanned images

    When I scan an image or document using a HP 6510 scanned images are dark and shaded areas along the vertical edges of the completed scans. The cover is closed all the way and the shadows are not part of the original image/document. What could cause this problem and how to fix it?

    I have scanned hundreds of images with a C5280 printer/scanner and never had any problems with it. Since I bought the 6510, I didn't have problems with it, it's a true lemon IMO. Does anyone know if HP is planning a recall on this model?

    Resolved: The problem proved to be the scanner cover. It allows a small amount of light to enter along the edge of the hinge. After you verify that the lid has been correctly installed (tabs of hinge in place and the lid placed correctly in addition to glass) I found that putting something, like a book or my hand on top of the lid while the machine is scanning has solved the problem.

    I miss my old HP Photosmart C5280.

  • Part of the image appears in the scanned image

    I have an officejet 6600 all-in-one printer.  Lately, whenever I try to scan the image is cut off.  Only a small part of the document appears in the final image.  The content is visible on the scanned image is in the lower right of the scanning space.  Please tell us what the steps should I take to solve this problem.  Thank you

    Hello Pierre,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I see you are trying to scan documents using your HP Officejet 6600, how ever you getting only a very small part of the analysis. What happens when you try to make a copy, the entire page produce on the copy?

    If the HP software, make sure that the scan size is set to sweep the area.

  • HP ENVY 4500: Scanned image appears in several parts of the whole.

    Hi people, for convenience, I'm going to number paragraphs describing my problem.

    1. any new product, which was to install a couple of days.

    2. the product prints and copy great and no problems. However, although yesterday I scanned a picture OK, now not so much.

    3. I hate to admit it, but I am 81 and my memory is not so great. Perhaps, I do not use the Protocol? Here are the details of the problem:

    4. when I scan using the screen of the printer the printer allows to scan that a good connection to my computer and an appropriate message is displayed on the monitor screen "Scanning". When parsing the result image is sent to the 'Documents '. So far, good.

    5. what analyzes all the I go to Documents and find the split image in ten 10 or more separate items and it would be a major task using PES or similar to the room together. In any case, would not be a solution, the photo scanning in a room, that's what I'm aiming for.

    6 but it is not the end of the problem. When I scan using the computer all scans correctly and is displayed in the preview window, which appeared on my screen. But the 'same' problem persists as above and the scanned image in appear in 10 or more parts at all.

    7. I don't think that there is nothing wrong with the product, rather I strongly suspect that I'm doing something wrong or maybe I misconfigured Setup.

    How can I fix this problem? What should I do to scan photos and documents as an image or a document and not 10?

    I'll be very grateful to help on this problem. Thank you very much. If you need more information, please just ask.

    Stehkoyeh.

    What follows is HPENVY4500 all_in_one printer, scanner, copier and fax. Professor, thank you very much for your help. However, I managed to fix my situation with the changes as follows:

    1. in the hp/scan utility on the computer. I clicked on the Scan of the computer and then the change analysis tasks...

    2. This was brought up in a popup window. I then put 'photo jpeg' highlight and click on modify.

    3. This brought another window. This is the important part. I've changed the menu presets "Photos, graphics, etc." and then that immediately under this Type 'exit' I've changed to read JPEG.

    4. everything that sounds very complex and I know I got lucky to fall on this procedure, because I'm good technically not for sure!

    However, the procedure above fixed my problem and my scans to and from the computer using Direct and wireless network were quite normal and very good. The scans are clear and bright and crisp colors. I am now very happy.

    As for the solution "self-cultivation", I'll certainly store that is far away and use it if you need. Although it was not necessary for my problem now, it's a very important protocol worth remembering.

  • Not scanned image the same size as the original

    Scanned images of a doc of legal size seem to be reproduced on images of legal size. When printing, the print space is 60% or the printed page, while the original doc was so full page. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

    The default action is to just scan the document in without letting you look at your scan settings. I would say "the Interface of the Native Scanner see the" setting under "Custom Scan".  File > create a PDF from a Scanner > custom scan

    Click on the radio button to select "native interface of the scanner Show", then OK to confirm.

    When you click Scan in custom scan, you can then preview, set the size and then analyze using your own scanner software.

  • How to work with still Images in first items 10

    I am faced with still images in my titles for my video project and would be really grateful for the help. I did a lot of searching on Google on this and searched this forum, but can't seem to find the answer I need, maybe not to seek the right questions or all just "don't get it".  Not even PE Adobe tips or Adobe TV covers, although it seems important to know. I don't understand how PE10 will manage the resolution of graphics from Photoshop or any fixed image. Maybe this topic will also contribute to other institutions.

    I'm working on a video project for my work, editing an old training video. New title graphics created in Photoshop, inserted images of title integrated with video clips, then exported the video segments in the form of MPEG files.  I burned the entire video on DVD.

    When the final DVD play on a computer or a television screen, the images of photo in the titles are unclear, although they were clearly 300 dpi images. (I know dpi is not serious in the video). The text of the title is also a little fuzzy and the text of the title which has applied animation to it is still more unclear. Yet, old video clips MPEG look good - it's just my title images and texts that have (annoying) look bad.

    So I need to know how to improve the quality of the images/graphics even a video?

    Project settings:

    -Hard drive, Standard 48 kHz

    -Editing mode: DV NTSC

    -Frame: 720 x 480 (0.9091)

    -Frame rate: 29.97 FPS

    -with "optimize images" box checked

    Using these settings because I work with an old training video CD MPEG files.

    Exporting files: MPEG, NTSC DVD Standard

    I export as MPEG video clips because they will be burned on a CD or a DVD for distribution to our management offices.

    Job details:

    In Photoshop, I still created graphic images for each title of format 720 x 480 with high resolution photos and logo of the company (300 dpi) and save as a bitmap for import into PE10.  In the timeline panel, I insert the fixed image on the track "Vidéo 1", and then in the video track 2 create a top for the text title (some animated, some still). Sometimes I have the battery 2 or tracks of three titles with separate video text on an image fixed title. Yes, there is a red line on the top in the timeline because I do not still images.

    Issues related to the:

    • What is the best resolution for images imported into PE10 of Photoshop?

    • Do I create title graphics/images to 720 x 480 or higher like 1920 x 1080 report so it will show better seen on a computer or a TV?

    • Do I need to render each image title in the timeline panel so that it displays finally better in MPEG?

    • Is it better to create a title and then insert the image in the title so that they are integrated, rather than layers on separate video tracks?

    I would be very happy to help.

    When the final DVD play on a computer or a television screen, the images of photo in the titles are unclear, although they were clearly 300 dpi images. (I know dpi is not serious in the video). The text of the title is also a little fuzzy and the text of the title which has applied animation to it is still more unclear. Yet, old video clips MPEG look good - it's just my title images and texts that have (annoying) look bad.

    Please keep in mind that DVD-video has been designed for CRT TVs, and was a major step upward to a VHS tape. However, when displayed on a HD or HD TV computer monitor *, it of always ONLY 720 x 480, with is about 1/4 of the resolution 1920 x 1080, which is what we're used to seeing on display devices. It is, but only 25% of the quality. He can never look as good as HD material.

    Good luck and if I missed something, please point out to me.

    * With the advent of BD players and players of DVD up-rezzing, things HAVE improved, watching a video DVD on an HDTV. New players have up-rezzing in chips, which do a very good job of "improving" the quality of the material considered. However, even with these amazing chips, DVD-video is NEVER as good as a full-HD source. In addition, the computers do not have these chips up-rezzing, so when contemplating a video DVD on a high-resolution computer monitor, it will still look pretty bad. There are a couple of new DVD players software, that allow to improve the quality of DVD-Video, played on a high-resolution computer monitor, and some look quite promising. I guess we'll see some more development in the region of DVD-video, especially since BD is not the seller basically promised a lot. Even in 3D is not helping BD fulfilling its promises.
