This is easy enough to do with Photoshop, or any number of graphics editing
programs. Meanwhile a person with any BRAINS, would simply call Circuit City and
ask for a duplicate. They do it all the time. All Circuit City purchases are
kept in their computer system. They can find your receipt by your name, your
phone number, the brand and model number, the serial number - almost any shred
of information will do. They then hit the print key, and Voila! A brand new
official receipt, printed on the original paper.

Someone who was TRULY technically savvy would know that simple is better. You
non-technical types resort to Brain Surgery for a minor headache.



You moron, you!

Yah, right . . . like I've got the time to jump on my bike and ride up to
Cutler Ridge (Miami) about a hundred miles north of here just to pick
up a fresh copy of a reciept I already have in my possession. So, it's
faded out and hard to read. I adjusted contrast, saturation etc, using
photoshop so it can be read by the proof of purchase people at HP.
I sent it as a tiff because tifs give the best detail although they are
huge files. If HP doesn't think it's authetic then THEY are free to use
the transaction number to query Circuit City - snot my job, mon!
