With reference to Colossians 2:13, ὄντας [ἐν] τοῖς παραπτώμασιν, I have attached a screenshot of the Manuscript Workspace image of 30131 4690c, unprocessed and manually processed to maximize readability of column 1, line 31 (the line 6 lines from the bottom). I used the "curves" tool of public domain program GIMP. See the improvement even from a screenshot (it would surely be better still from the image itself), and see my curve settings. Maybe you have much more powerful tools? I am sure they exist. Would it be possible to offer functionality like this over the internet in the Manuscript Workspace?  N.B. If anyone is not familiar with the -ας abbreviation in ὄντας, see another example on line 13 (Βλέπετε μή τις ὑμᾶς). So I read ἐν here.
