          • You can use gimp to increase the contrast. Select the dropdown menu Colors and one of the methods, for example Brightness/Contrast or Curves. This works for single or few pictures/pages.



          • The package imagemagick provides batch tools (if there are many pictures/pages). There are several good tutorials, for example
