* Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2004-10-29 00:14]:
 I was wondering, is there some more plug-ins or scripts,
 for working with Black and White images?
 
 if so, where can I download them?

Did you ever get an answer to that Richard?  I'm looking for the same
thing.  Specifically, I need to convert a newspaper that was scanned
as a grayscale image to a black and white monochrome 1 bit image.  I
need a tool that's as intelligent as a scanner in making the
background white.

 Right-Click - Tools - Color Tools - Threshold
 
that is what i get for not checking the tools and relying on my memory.
there is a histogram associated with the tool, but the tool is named
Threshold as Andreas has typed here.

corrected,
carol

Try Image, Mode, Indexed

then choose:
Use Black and White (1-bit) Palette

There are other way too, try them as they are all useful depending on what
you really want.
