I have the following image that I need to reproduce in greyscale. I can’t do a direct conversion or the red becomes too dark.
Is there a way to change the red background to a pink one, for example by adding 128 to the green and blue channels of the red?
Or by some other method. So that the white text isn’t lost but the background is much lighter.

Paint, colour dropper.
Drop the selected colour onto the red and it will all change.
Over.

I read this recently whilst at the doctors/dentist and they reckon the magazines are old.
I don’t know how I got it, but I think I got it.
Thanks bubblecar. Yours is better.
In gimp I’d just select by colour and then increase brightness of the selection, then select all and set sat to zero.

Basically what I did in Photoshop but I used the selection wand set to 50 and clicked on the red areas, brightened them by about 40%, then desat.

Brilliant. I’ll go with that. :-)
Is this any good?
