Hi Susan
I had some luck in enhancing faded markings on ceramic and other
surfaces with a phone app aimed mainly at looking at degraded rock art
pigments in poor light conditions - BinaryEarth - Rock Art Enhancer
[1] - for Android. IDStretch, which I've not tried, is a similar
app for IPhones.
This was to improve legibility, not to render the original design as
say a complete image. In my case, because the surfaces were curved
and never evenly lit, it was a process of trying to get the best
resolution of a small part of one segment before moving on to the next
bit of the image and compiling it in my head. It works by altering
spectrum characteristics, so not sure you'd be able to recover a
'true' colour.
Because its an app it is easy to play with, and more experienced users
may have a whole bag of tricks to get better results from it.
cheers

Subject:fugitive exposure
Hi All,
I have Chinese and English enameled wares that have surface designs
that
have gone away.
Does anyone know how to make the paints reappear?
I have the ghosts/fugitives/shadows but was wondering if there's
anything
that would expose the former colors.
Thanks as always,
S. Walter
