Your document has color in it, (in small quantities, but you'll see it if you look at the individual channels in the curves box) and one of the goals of your editing has to be to remove the color. Use the threshold filter. Looking at your document on screen, I think the threshold range from 235 to 255 (there are two blanks to fill in) would work well. Bear in mind that using the threshold filter is an excercize in making the lines thick enough to see without introducing too many random black dots elsewhere in the paper, and that you won't come up with anything totally perfect, but this method works for me with a good success rate if I'm not trying to make it look professional. -- PGP/GPG Fingerprint: D5E2 8839 6ED3 3305 805C 941F 9476 A9BD E2B2 CAD1 Import with `gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key E2B2CAD1` Also on www: http://wwwcsif.cs.ucdavis.edu/~bloom/kabloom.asc For more information about PGP and GPG, see http://www.gnupg.org/
