I'm trying to digitize an old Russian-language book, to put it up on Google Books and similar platforms, for open access.
Increasing the contrast by 50 (under Colors/Brightness-Contrast) seems to help with readability.
A sample of the unaltered version has been uploaded here.
A sample of the same page, with contrast increased by 50 has been uploaded here.
I'm seeking advice as to whether (a) the version with the contrast increased is indeed more readable and (b) there would be a better way of changing the image, to maximize readability—or have I likely hit the sweet spot?
Any feedback/suggestions would be most appreciated. I'm a novice with regard to Gimp and similar programs.
