Now we'll make a new adjustment layer to
adjust the Threshold of the image. Threshold gets rid of all the shades
of gray, leaving only pure black and white. Using an Adjustment layer
instead of applying it directly to the image, allows you to make further
adjustments later on if needed, without losing any digital information.
For the most accurate preview make sure the view magnification is at 100
percent. From the side menu of the Layers palete choose New Adjustment
Layer and for type choose Threshold and click OK. A setting of 128 is
the default Threshold level. This number represents shades of gray, 128
being the mid point of the total of 256 shades of gray that are available
in this Grayscale image. A higher number for Threshold Level will make
the image darker and a lower number will make the image lighter. Adjust
the threshold until the line thickness appears correct. My image had a
Threshold Level of 118.
