Any chance anyone could help me? This was on the back of an old WWI era family photo but we don't know who it was. The handwriting is too faint. I have tried everything I know on photoshop but only am so smart in that department.

Some thoughts:
Can I assume that you made the image with a scanner? If so try this instead. Look very carefully and see if the writing made a "dent" into the paper. If so then use a single small light held at angle to see if the sides of the dent cast a shadow which you can then photograph with a camera. You might also see if double polarized light set up might help that. Make sure you are in a darkened room with no stray light hitting the card when doing this.
I have used this method but it does have limitations, some times you almost have to copy letter by letter but in the end we where able to make it out.
Good Luck!!! -
Evidently my previous link was not "approved"? So will try this. If unapproved again please explain.
I can't read anything but maybe this will help you sort some of it out.
I used various adjustment layers then painted over all the lines I could make out... hope this helps.
The file contains the different layers I used to show how I achieved this.. and is over 300mb so must be downloaded to view.. sorry for any inconvenience.

Is it possible to take a photo that has been flattened in Photoshop and unflatten it so that the individual layers are seen again?

I started with a photo and applied a layer mask, did the white/black thing to remove background. Then I option clicked on the mask icon to show the white/black mask.
I tried to paint on the mask to clean up some places I missed. It wouldn't let me paint - painted, but nothing showed up...11-24-2013, 11:31 AM -
Long time no see all...
My workload has increased by about 200% this semester, so I haven't had time to drop in lately.
Now that it's the holidays and I do have a bit of time, I'm trying to help a co-worker with an old family photo. She has no idea who is in this photo....12-18-2003, 09:33 AM -

As I was exploring "Photo-Based Art" methods, every once in awhile I'd come up with a result I actually LIKED.
Too often though, en route to visual success, I'd lose track of (or completely neglect) recording steps taken, filters applied, what sequence, what settings, etc. --...06-05-2002, 01:36 PM
