I want to edit my picture to be faded so I can use it as background with
text
over it.
In Publisher you can do it one of two ways. For both ways start by
inserting the picture.
Method 1, right click on picture and select Format Picture, click on picture
tab, then click on the dropdown for Color under Image Control and select
washout (and you can use the brightness and contrast controls there to
change the amount of washout.)
Method 2, click on picture and with the toolbar that opens then change the
contrast and brightness to the desired effect.
I recommend going with method 1 because I think it starts with a better
balance.
If these simple tools or methods do not give the desired effect you may have
to go to an image editing program to get the actual desired effect.
Hope this helps, let us know.
