My Mother does "find a grave" stuff, and yes, I too am constantly scanning stuff for her that needs fixing up, and yes, those old family documents DO need extra work.. But I found if you have the right software, its really easy, and just takes a few extra minutes to clean up a document or a picture.
The key here is software so that you don't end up having to retouch the entire photo or document to make it viewable.
And yes Champanier, this latest part of this thread is about paying a high price for something that you cannot preview before buying, and takes little effort to make another copy of (the same pdf file). It is not about someone making a few bucks off of honest effort, but 10 bucks for a pdf file is not honest, In my humble opinion.
