Using Dodge/Burn on several separated layers (3 at least), then Quick Mask to jopin them together. Or because there are at least 3-4 different level of grey so you may want to adjust the 3-4 objects in 3-4 separated layers.
1. The upper part you may be able to do using Level
2. The lower part is a little tougher for Level, so you either.
a. Using Dodge/Burn
b. Type in the letter yourself.
There are 4,210 images to process and I am limited to expending no more than 23-cents time to each (or total of just under $1000 of my time, which is a half-day). I’ve made three iterative change passes using overnight batch editing, and the outcome is now good enough to batch-OCR. I’ve turned it over to the new help to do that work.
It’s pretty interesting stuff. Recently declassified intelligence of the former USSR.
If you refuse to learn how to fix your problem using Photoshop then you can pick other choice.
I fixed the images on my own. I know how to use photoshop, you moron. I was simply asking for a little tip from the rest – you know, collaborate, communicate. That’s bad?

They are digital photographs taken at the research institute. Not scans. Scanning was not permitted.
– And if you have enough Photoshop skill (you should) then it shouldn’t take more than sonce seconds to around 1-2 minutes the most to fix each photo.
Even if I could possibly manually work on 4,210 images without interruption, at 2 minutes each that would take 140 hours, and I am allowed only four hours – and I made the target time. It’s over.
Are you drunk or something?
