Grey out jpg or pdf

[chstech]

Is there any way to 'grey' or make a jpg or pdf a little translucent or invisible? I have a file with the property layout as both. I just need to change how dark it is printing with out taking it to an external photo edit program. It has a funky scale!!

Thanks,

You can also use layers colours in the document preferences. make the layer the jpg is on a light grey colour as the layer colour. This should work. I have used this when I want to 'draw' over the image without having the image too strong.

That didn't work. Wondering if i did it wrong. I am trying to change a jpg or pdf image, not something that I have drawn. I might try the stipple idea.

The other thing to consider is to go ahead and adjust it in the photo editing software and bring it back in & resize before you delete the old one.

... or draw a rectangle by clicking on opposite corners of the image, and then delete the old image. When you bring the image back in you can drag-stretch it to those same two corners.

Might not be exactly what you want, but you can set your pen color to white and place a stipple over the image. With the right stipple settings you can tone down the image a bit.
