It looks like you could get the same results with the software you have by using The Levels features - or Auto Levels. Or by using some other image manipulation tool you find easier to use, as they are all likely to have some kind of Levels function built in.
You could tweak things further but 99% of the work will be done with a very quick click on Auto Levels. Maybe that's what you've already tried though.-nudone (May 21, 2011, 05:42 AM)

This simple book is meant to get you started in programming. The title says it’s the hard way to learn to write code;
but it’s actually not. It’s only the “hard” way because it’s the way people used to teach things.

CORRECTED: Microsoft Strongly Denies VB 6 Open Source Rumors, Sources Retract Statement
Microsoft's Doug Seven, director of product management for Visual Studio tools and languages, strongly denied a story reported here earlier that Microsoft planned to open source VB 6.
"There's no more solid source than me. It's not true," he said.
The statement was in response to a story published earlier on this site that said that the rumor of VB6 being opened source, first heard at Tech-Ed then spread on Twitter, was confirmed by an independent source.
Our source has since retracted that statement. The original poster on twitter has also retracted his statement.
RDN apologizes for the error.
Yes. That's the fundamental, core difference between Windows and iOS. It's the main characteristic that allows Apple to be Apple, and Windows to be Windows.-superboyac (May 19, 2011, 08:19 PM)
And, and, I've recently experienced the totally sucks balls nature of OS file storage. I tried out a few mp3 player apps in an attempt to avoid itunes - none of these mp3 players is aware that there are mp3 files already on the machine, they are also blind to each others mp3 files - how. dumb. is. that. It's beyond moronic - totally utter crap.-nudone (May 19, 2011, 04:53 PM)
As I have mentioned elsewhere on this forum, I can't suggest strongly enough that you check out HTML Dog for the HTML4 & CSS. The author has laid out a beautiful and simple tutorial that teaches these two topics together, the way they should be taught.-steeladept (May 19, 2011, 01:12 AM)

Hmmm... Can't seem to find any pictures of us. Just this one. Common sentiment is that many Linux folk are planning a mass exodus, but so far the destinations are scattershot (typical of such as often fragmented community... *sigh*), with all alternatives being on average poorer than Skype's offerings.-Edvard (May 18, 2011, 12:54 PM)
If I could wave a magic wand and influence the right people, I'd make sure Microsoft opens the API enough to allow third party applications to hook into the network, as long as you are a registered user, of course.
Then, third party developers who are already developing VoIP and Video Chat clients (Ekiga, Qutecom, Linphone, etc...) could support the Skype protocol and relieve MS of the burden of developing a client.
Naturally, MS would probably steer users to signing up for a Live account or some such for access to it, which some may balk at, but hey "Ya pay's yer money, an' ya takes yer cherce".-Edvard (May 18, 2011, 12:54 PM)
Primavera is primarily known as the ultimate SCHEDULING program. The word "schedule" doesn't appear anywhere on that page. It's nonsense. It's all marketing jargon. It drives me out of my mind.-superboyac (May 18, 2011, 09:32 AM)
I have a very real problem with this:All the measures of the law should protect property and punish plunder.
Law should protect PEOPLE. That attitude is the one that lets lawyers run rampant protecting "property" through silly patents and whatnot.-Renegade (May 17, 2011, 08:34 PM)
Quite true, but he covers that rather well earlier on. Including the lawyers part.-Stoic Joker (May 17, 2011, 09:16 PM)
