Looks like the University forgot to pay the bill for the RetroReveal.org name.

I just went to work on several cancels and the link ends up at one of those generic pages showing various subjects, like buying sneakers and fixing toilets.

Crap - I think I have some 1862 canx dates and was trying to run them through the website!

The last time RetroReveal went down forum member PostmasterGS wrote a similar java reveal program, it is available from his website. Right side under Resources/Software/Reveal App

Thank you!

Easy to use program that will replace the software that I was using for tweaking of some scans.

Unfortunately, it doesn't replace RetroReveal's ease of use and the ability to bring out weak canx...

Here is why I needed to go to RetroReveal.

What is the date on this stamp? I was able to divine 1863 as the year, and that was about it. Faded out red manuscript canx - not my favorite to work on!



Now take that exact image and let RetroReveal do its stuff, and viola:



We appear to have a 24 Oct 1863 canx.

Easy like that :-)
