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. > -----Original Message----- > From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd- > bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of jwcolby > Sent: Sunday, November 27, 2011 8:40 PM > To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving > Subject: [AccessD] Paint.net > > I have to do reports over actual pictures of state documents.
