Is it correct?
Is it the correct way to use this phrasal verb 'make out':
I can't make out your handwriting. It is difficult to make out faces in this photo.
Can you give me more examples with it? And maybe with a different meaning that is used often. Because there are to many translations in a dictionary and I'm not sure which meaning of this phrasal verb is used regularly and which is rarely.

Both sentences are perfect. A couple might also "make out" - a term that is used regularly.

Yep, that's perfect!
Another example: "I can just about make out the words in this recording."
Here are a few other definitions:

Writing a cheque. (Where I am we don't write cheques anymore, but it might still be useful in the USA.)
