1. BRISS groups different pages together, which is why it will sort all the odd text pages together, all the even text pages together, and the front and back cover separately (unless the covers fit within the margins of the text pages).
2. On the 'text' pages, sometimes you'll see darker text, and some lighter text at the left and right margins of the block of text. Basically, BRISS is overlaying all the pages of the same 'type', and while all the pages have text in the main area of the block, only some pages will text at the far right or far left of the block, so BRISS shows the text there as lighter.
3. For each page 'type' or grouping, you select the area that you want to remain viewable (so create a box around the text you want to keep).
4. Crop and save new file.
All that is nice but how the hell do you start and use the damned thing! I am not a geek. If doesn't say PRESS HERE, DO THIS, I'm screwed!
