23434 2001-11-02 11:44:00 I received a document as an attachment image.jpeg. When I tried to print it, it came out very faint and unreadable. I tried to save it to both disc and hard drive but then was unable to open it to edit it and alter the font to make it print out. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!! Guest (0)

Your jpeg file is most likely a scanned image of the document. You won't be able to do anything with the text, as the computer doesn't store it as text - but as the little dots that make up the characters. Of you had some sort of optical character recognition software, you could possibly convert it back to text, but that is a long shot.
You best answer would be to take it into something like photoshop and increase the contrast and try reprinting it.

There are a few free programs if you do not have the $1000 + to buy Photoshop 6, altho they say it is cheaper to buy a old version, and the upgrade as well to bring you up to the latest version.

But there are a few free program you can modify image files,

One
Star Office 5.2,

Two
Gimp is manly a Linux program, but they have a windows version, it is almost similar to Photo shop but does not have CMYK feature so is more suitable for web work.
The latest windows version is 1.2.0 you can download gimp-set-20001226.exe 12 Meg in file size from http://www.gimp.org

three
Then there is IrfanView Version 3.51, iview351.zip 631K in file size from http://www.irfanview.com

Both gimp & irfanview are the latest version, I checked within the past week.
