<p>[QUOTE="Aquitaine, post: 5021103, member: 602"]<p style="text-align: center">Hi Kevin....I play with Photoshop and will digitally manipulate, invert colors, contrasting, etc, anything that will help to try to bring out difficult signatures.....sometimes helpful, lots of times not!!! But it's usually worth a try!!</p> <p style="text-align: center">I cropped around the signature, lightened a bit then contrasted & inverted, then tried hue & saturation changes....First, it doesn't look English to me, so @sabre may be on the right track, but I still can't read it....definitely looks like an accent over an 'e' at the end. Where I put a red arrow near the end in the first image, there is some BARELY visible writing that looks like it starts with an E and ends with 'ds' I think....not great help there, maybe you can see it better in person. It's NOT really very visible in the color shift in the second image, but I thought the overall <u>signature</u> was a little clearer in the White. Be patient.....others will check in eventually who are good at identifying signatures!!!</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]414115[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]414116[/ATTACH] </p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
