hi, this is for Photoshop 6.0.
I often need to increase the contrast of a grayscale drawing so all gray lines turn black. This normally works except if the gray is very light. I would like to change the contrast threshold and turn up the contrast so any non-white feature turns black.

Put another way, let’s say I have some gray lines that are RGB = 30, 30, 30. In such case, I might want to set my threshold to 10, 10, 10 so everything below turns white and everything above that setting turns black. What is the correct way to do this?
