Thanks for the help! Since I was in a rush, I actually ended up going into
Gimp and cutting out boxes from the background, then lightening them, then
placing them over top the original background (since I am very new to Gimp
and didn't know how to make transparent boxes on the background the "right"
way). It worked fine, since the background was somewhat nondescript to begin
with.
