Hi !!

Can anyone tell me what is good way to fade or lighten an image. I tried to take this image to GIF work and "fade", but all I get is a lot of gray. I want to use this image as a background with text over it, and need it to be lighter for the test to show properly.

Also, not sure what graphic program you have (The Gimp is a free one) but I played with the curves to lighten it, you could also try highlight/contrast to lighten. icon_smile.gif

It can be done with most image editors, like paintshop or photoimpct. Try downloading some trial software to see which you would prefer, then have a play.
