Do you know how to make the vertical bars in this image more visible? Especially on the right side. I'd like to have the vertical bars more sharp and outstanding from the background)? I tried using the sharpening tool in photoshop, but that wasn't sufficient.
In the last resort, I am thinking to draw new vertical elements over the image. But that would be tedious and something I'd like to avoid.
EDIT: This is the best result so far. Please note that the code does not match.

Barcodes need to be scannable... so.... really redrawing them to be precise is best if you can't simply use an online barcode generator. And redrawing may result in a faulty code as well, even if you are careful to match each line width and each space -- they all actually mean something to the scanner.

Hi Nadia, if you need it to be scannable I would definitely get the sku information (numbers) and use a generator. Otherwise, have you tried using levels in photoshop?

The contrast between the bars and the background must be black on white—even light-coloured backgrounds are discouraged. As for the bars/spaces they are both either one or two units wide and alternate, black, white, etc.

Can I ask you to confirm that you are trying to recover the image for aesthetic purposes and not to make it (or similar ones) scannable? Your question leaves this open and many people assume you do want to correctly recover this 1 scan.

Using the work by mayersdesign, this was easy. This is Code 39. The image is backwards/upside-down. Once you turn the image 180 degrees, you can see the proper Code 39 headers. (The beginning is different from the end.)

I cleaned it up to a degree using Perspective transform, Curves, Dust & Scratches (filter) and Unsharp mask. This useful website: https://online-barcode-reader.inliteresearch.com/ then read the code as:
G10024577829
No idea if that's right, but I tried another cleanup of the same image and it read the same, so I am quite confident.
The little graphic appears to indicate the whole image is being used...

Thanks for the effort, mayersdesign. I got the same number after some attempts on photoshop. However, this number doesn't read the right darker part of the image (the two thick bars)
– Nadia Merquez

I just updated the image above. I manually separated those two black bars and it reads the same. I will add the screenshot which appears to show it is reading the whole code. I can't prove it IS of course.

You can ofcourse generate the barcode (I just did it). Then, you easily notice they are unfortunately not the same.

Using the work by mayersdesign, this was easy. This is Code 39. The image is backwards/upside-down. Once you turn the image 180 degrees, you can see the proper Code 39 headers. (The beginning is different from the end.)

I cleaned it up to a degree using Perspective transform, Curves, Dust & Scratches (filter) and Unsharp mask. This useful website: https://online-barcode-reader.inliteresearch.com/ then read the code as:
G10024577829
No idea if that's right, but I tried another cleanup of the same image and it read the same, so I am quite confident.
The little graphic appears to indicate the whole image is being used...

Thanks for the effort, mayersdesign. I got the same number after some attempts on photoshop. However, this number doesn't read the right darker part of the image (the two thick bars)
– Nadia Merquez

I just updated the image above. I manually separated those two black bars and it reads the same. I will add the screenshot which appears to show it is reading the whole code. I can't prove it IS of course.

You can ofcourse generate the barcode (I just did it). Then, you easily notice they are unfortunately not the same.

Barcodes need to be scannable... so.... really redrawing them to be precise is best if you can't simply use an online barcode generator. And redrawing may result in a faulty code as well, even if you are careful to match each line width and each space -- they all actually mean something to the scanner.

Hi Nadia, if you need it to be scannable I would definitely get the sku information (numbers) and use a generator. Otherwise, have you tried using levels in photoshop?
– curious♦

The contrast between the bars and the background must be black on white—even light-coloured backgrounds are discouraged. As for the bars/spaces they are both either one or two units wide and alternate, black, white, etc.
– Stan
Jul 17 at 0:59
Thanks for the replies. The issue is that I want to obtain the sku information from the image. I just tried levels in photoshop and that helped a lot. However, on the righ part t - where the two thick bars are - tend to glue with eachoter. I believe that makes it more difficult to read the image.
– Nadia Merquez
Jul 17 at 8:00
Can I ask you to confirm that you are trying to recover the image for aesthetic purposes and not to make it (or similar ones) scannable? Your question leaves this open and many people assume you do want to correctly recover this 1 scan.
