Image Editing

Digitalized documents are frequently of poor visual quality. Even if text can be copied and searched, figures are often of low resolution or blurry, unfit for publication. If one has access to a printed original, a high-quality scan can be made. If not, image processing techniques can often significantly improve the quality of an image, so as to meet publisher's requirements.

I also perform image editing tasks unrelated to the issue of poorly digitalized documents. See the example below.
