Re: [Gimp-user] background question

[Daniel Smith]

the best way i can think of would be to put a backing on the paper,
not to affix it but just lay it behind the newspaper, when you scan it
so the light doesn't emanate the paper so you don't see the other
side?
just my 2...

 Hi

 I am trying to remove the background of an image I have scanned of a
 Newspaper.
 The paper was thin and the back side of the paper is visible on the image.
 Is there an easy way to remove this?

 The reverse image is also visible over the main image I am looking at (the
 image is a News Headline, not a Picture.

 Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 All the best

 If you can, scan again, and put *black* paper on top of the other side
 while scanning.

That *and* pick a black point when scanning.  It will make the text that
does bleed thru appear much lighter.

Then play with the contrast of the product.
