Default Help with enhancing a photo

Does anyone have photo enhancement software that can be used to clean up a photo? I need a little help clearing up a photo so that I can read names on it!

Thanks in advance!
Travis

Picasa has some rudimentary photo enhancing ability (sharpening, etc.) and is free. If you're looking for the kind of thing you see on CSI, where blurry text magically becomes clear, in which case, I would suggest you go to the CBS studios

What Matt is saying is that the impression given on CSI type shows as to what can be done with low-res images does not represent reality. You can't recreate visual information that was lost in the reprodution of the image - it's gone. All you can do is sharpen things up a bit. In this case it probably won't help you much.

Changing contrast might help a little.

In real crime scenes, forenic examiner change contrast and lighting sources to make things stand out/contrast from the background-- stuff like eyelashes and blood stainss. But that 's when looking in person physical objects. Stuff in a photo would be different.

As a software developer, I always cringe when I hear those familiar phrases "Zoom in right there!", and "Enhance it!"
