hi i just signed up, im having some trouble trying to make something darker when using paint.net
i have attached a pic, at the top is the original image, and below, is how it looks after i applied (5 times) effects-->photo-->sharpen (at the maximum amount '20')
it does certainly look better after applying the maximum sharpening amount 5 times, but i was just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to perhaps other better ways i could make that text more readable? or do u think that is pretty much as good as i can expect? thanks
