Hi, I'd like to lighten or remove the yellowing from the pages to make the book more attractive. Maybe leave the text alone and replace everything else with white. I tried different things with GIMP without much luck. Any ideas? Is the book printed in color? If not, you could

Sean, Great! I KNEW this would be a good group to ask! I tried using greyscale in GIMP and got pretty good results, and I'll try this too when I can. I'll definitely write up all these tricks in the book. I'm already recommending Image Magick for creating PDF's so this tip will be a natural.
