Title: How to lighten picture but keep lettering dark
Post by: dannyboy on February 09, 2020, 09:18:59 PM

This is one for you computer experts out there. ;)

:helpneededsign:
With the picture below, I want to lighten the background, but darken, (or at least not lighten), the lines and words. Whilst I like to think of myself pretty good with programmes like MS Office, I have never done much with programmes that alter pictures. Can any one give me some pointers please?

Like this? (will probably be able to do more with the original file)

Try playing with contrast in a photo editor

[edit]
I found a black & white filter effect on Lenovo Photo Master on this laptop (never bothered to try this software before)
