Hello. I read old documents (genealogy) on a microfilm reader screen. When I take a picture the corners are darker than center, making reading difficult. How correct this? (I have thousand pictures). Exemple attached.

Maybee a layer for darken the center, yhen a backlight?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for my poor english, I am french speaking

This is due to the way those screens are illuminated. The lamp is directly behind the screen, causing the center to be brighter than the edges. The image sensor on a camera amplifies this effect. The only way to correct this would be using some type of HDR processing using multiple exposures. Basically speaking, you would need to take 2 or more pictures using different IS0 or exposure settings and then use software to combine the best parts of each of the images.

I see the result : a work of genius!

Unfortunately, I can't translate : "Rick's blending". My dictionary do'nt help me. Could you explain a little more?

Thank you in advance
