This must be possible

I am trying to create some backgrounds for webpages....and they must have that "flattened" look. That's the only way I can describe it. They look like the contrast has been reduced and the page brightened overall. Considering all the tools available in GIMP, one of them must be the one , but I can't seem to find the proper one. I have tried reducing contrast and brightening but the look isn't what I want. If anybody understands what I want can they help ??

Thanks

There are many ways to do that. If you are not too familiar with GIMP and the various color tools that it offers, the easiest way is probably this:
- Open the image.
- Add a new layer on top of the background. - Fill it with white (or light gray, or any light color). - Reduce the opacity of the new layer to 50% or less.

try the color modification curves (layer->color->curves or color->curves depending on the version of your GIMP)

Thanks, this works as well, why didn't I think of these? After all I've been using GIMP for 3 weeks :)

Thanks
