Wabcz Parish, Poland unreadable

Is there a way of knowing if the parish records can be rephotographed and indexed? These photos are beached out and unreadable

If you use the Catalog rather than Images to get to the images (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJG-G9K2-6?i=239&cc=4111605&cat=302696), then there's a Tools button at the top right that allows you to fiddle with the brightness and contrast.

It's still very hard to read, but better than nothing, and doesn't depend on any near-impossibilities.

Hi, thank you. I was also able to adjust in images, I think . In any case it is still unreadable.

I wonder who I can talk to to let me know if they can rephotograph this church registry. If they were photographed badly long ago, perhaps there could be a redo. I can only hope

As these are Roman Catholic records, I would say it is highly unlikely they could be rephotographed for FamilySearch. In 2008, and then again in 2014, the Vatican mandated that the church records should not be digitized by the LDS Church.

Some locations are digitizing under other auspices - Find My Past is working with a number of locations in England and the United States, that I know of. The Archdiocese of Boston is working with the NEHGS.
