I'm asking this question here because at the moment I don't know where else to ask. The question relates to the Reading And Sugar book I'm doing.

I'm scanning in book pages of a book printed in 1928. The pages are quite yellow, but readable. A sample is at:

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?

Perhaps simply scan in greyscale rather than color?

Also, you might be interested in postprocessing with unpaper: http://unpaper.berlios.de/


Kind regards,
