Reviewing first responses to my query, it is obvious I did a poor job explaining what I was trying to do.

I have documents printed on light sensitive paper such as used on a fax, etc on which the printing is gradually disappearing. The printing is so faint that things like OCR are not an option.

I have scanned the document into Photoshop and tried things like level adjustment, selection by color, etc. and have come to the conclusion that I am wandering around rather aimlessly without a methodical and organized approach.

Since fading printing due to printing process, paper or age has to be a common problem, does anyone know of a turtorial on how to approach the problem in a systematic way?

I will appreciate any help I get.
