Photoshop could do this one of two ways:
1) special filters
2) select pixels of an image based on a color range - it was very tricky to
get it just right, but very powerful when it worked. There was a "fuzziness"
setting that you had to work with trial-and-error.
The key to this technique is the "washed out text" must be a distinguishable
and somewhat unique color range.
