I got the medal with a certificate talking about how brave I'm to stay alive.....LOL. My wife for 60 years got a certificate at my request saying that she is recognised as part of my daily fight with our lovely diabetes.
Problem; Both the certificates and accompanying letters I cannot copy in order to put them in my posting. Also don't know if a picture of the medal can be posted and I believe it cannot be posted. Cannot darken them to copy not even after trying for 3 hours non-stop. (Tried doing it. I can see them with Richard. Wonder how to do that.)
Will tell you more later. This was nice for X-mas! The people at Joslin are terrific!
Like Gerri said, most scanners have the ability to change the settings. Maybe if you post what kind you are using & what software, someone can walk you thru how to do it. A digital camera is what you would need to take the pic of the medal and upload it. If you only have a regular camera, most processing places will put the pics on a CD for you when you get the pictures developed.
Can they access a scanner? Anybody have a digital camera with the cords to connect it to the computer to download it?
The actual enhancing of the background, the watermarks, the silver/gold font etc. is time consuming but not too impossible. Spent a long time with a crippled computer two weeks ago trying to get the kids karate certificates for my classes to print the way I needed them. And my "problem" fonts were japanese which my printer choked on but good.... -cringing-
Great to read your news Mr.and Mrs. JB ....we use the local UPS store to scan ( for a fee ) ...they will sent the scanned stuff to your e-mail address .
They likely would take a digital pix of your medal as well and process to your e-mail address.
