Photography Question

sharpening a screen shot


This is a strange question, I know.

I have a screen shot of something off of the internet that I need to sharpen. I need to be able to read the words and, so far, am unable to do so.

I tried unsharp mask and also sharpen image....they did not help.

I am using PhotoShop Elements. If anyone has any advice or tricks I would really appreciate it.

Thank you in advance.

  If the definition is not there, there is nothing you can do to "bring out" the lettering (except, perhaps, if you're a CSI ;^).

One possible solution if you know what the words are is to manually draw over them (tedious) or add the text in PhotoShop.

  Thank you! I wish I was a CSI in this case. Long story. I was trying to help someone else out. Thanks again!
