1. If it's blurry their is not much you can do
Edited on Tue May-24-05 02:51 AM by Quixote1818
You can sharpen things on Adobe Photo Shop but that only goes so far and can make things look worse when the original image is already blurry. The sharpen tool works great on an already sharp image but if something is blurry it can only do so much.

Sometimes a slightly blurry picture can look better than a sharp image. It all depends on what look you are going for. Blurry can create a more artistic look.

2. What sort of memorial wall?
You might want to convert it into absolute blacks and whites through blowing it up on a Xerox machine. You will need to Xerox it in sections as it gets huge, and fit it together later.
