Photoshop expert to recover bad document pic

**Rebound** · 06.06.14, 19:51

Hi everybody,

today I shot a photo of a exam with my smartphone (I was in hurry

). The quality is really bad and it's not possible to read any line. I guess the quality is to bad to make it readable again.
But maybe there is somebody who has enough photoshop skills, to recover some lines.

The picture is attached.

Lol not a chance

No surprise. The problem has been, I had no time for a better pic, because the teacher was next to me.

I officially declare I cannot discern any sort of readable text whatsoever in the image.

Why did you take a picture of the exam, anyway (assuming you've already attended it)? Reminds me when I was too lazy or cheap to make photocopies and just photographed my classmates' notes instead.

The teacher drew up the exams a few weeks before the due date. I realized the sheet laid on the desk and tried to make a quick snapshot. Indeed it's not easy, if the teacher is sitting behind the desk.

work on ur photography skills man

.. Its takes 1-2 seconds for camera to focus .Manual focus is always best .Never rely on autofocus sometimes it betrays u. it focuses on something else.. Its way to blurry.. It could've been sharpened to get something but its looks like the camera was set to MACRO mode..

This isn't exactly CSI

This actually happened to me once. We got a picture of the teachers exam (pretty confident she didn't know about it) and it was very easy to read. Pretty happy with the results, we spread the exam around the entire class. The questions seemed feasible. Everyone showed up on the exam, having only studied those particular questions. Starting the exam, it quickly became clear that not a single question of this exam we got the pictures of was in there. Not a single one.

It's safe to say that not a single person passed the exam that day... Nice troll, mister teacher..!

Having said that, try not to cheat your way through exams. I have done so for a few and made it through them without getting caught. Looking back on it today, more mature, i kinda regret doing something like that. Especially since I still can't grasp those subjects this day.

I also cheated a lot but don't regret it. So far, the ability to solve inequalities, point out all of the country's hydro-electrical plants in a map or list the different parts that make up a cell has proven to be largely unnecessary for me to function as a member of society. The actual important topics (the ones required for my current line of work) I never had any trouble with, because they sparked my interest to study them in the first place.

Your mileage may vary.

My Man......

i've cheated 1-2 times just in ordinary test but i've helped my friends alot in cheating

Cheating was a group effort here too. Thinking which tricks we'd use on a particular exam in advance was pretty fun

Thank goodness this is the mobile phone/media player generation, those made things a lot easier.

I'm never forgetting a math test in '08 where one of my friends solved all the exercises and made an extra copy of them, left the classroom (you have to do that once you're done), then returned because he "forgot something" and threw the cheatsheet at us.

Speaking of which, the following exchange once took place during my 1st year:

*The teacher spots one of my classmates reading from a cheatsheet*
Teacher: Is that your exam or a cheat sheet?
Guy: It's the exam, it's the exam!
Teacher: Oh, okay then *walks away*

I see your point and it is a good one. I can't say I've ever actually needed the courses, but still... History, for example, is a course you don't need in daily life, but I still think it's important to know something about.

Having cheated the courses I didn't find interesting, and basically taking the easy way out, kind of screwed me over the first year that stuff got more complex and I just couldn't free-roll my way through it anymore. At that point, I was so used to knowing and being able to just do all these things on my own, that I had a really hard time studying all these new things that were just too hard to do that with. Maybe if I hadn't cheated and gotten used to actually studying, that might not have happened.. Who knows :)

Agree with this particular example, and I'd like to say History was one of those subjects I had no trouble with. Our teacher during the first and second year of school was awesome - strict, but awesome. Her classes developed in such a way that while contents were lengthy and rather complex, just some effort to understand from your side would result in them suddenly becoming pretty interesting, and easier to follow.

Looking back, I miss having to prepare all my notes I'd study from, and still remember a lot of it to this day, which should speak volumes as to her effectiveness. If more teachers were like that, the educational system here would be something else.
