[Make all text the same exact color]

All the tools end up doing the same thing, they end up making the light colored characters gray.

I attached a piece of the picture, the picture is very large so doing a quick fix specific for this picture would not be helpful.

Thanks

Use Grim Color reaper plugin to get rid of the white background

Darken to full black using Hue/Saturation by moving the Lightness all the way to the left.

Add a new layer and fill it with solid white and move it below the text layer

duplicate text layer if it required, flatten.

Hint: use Color Picker on the background for best result when using grim color reaper.

Thanks for the reply,

I followed the instructions but I still ended with some parts as a shade of gray instead of completely black. Most of the colored parts were fixed but some of the original text was a shade of light green and ended up gray.

[Make all text the same exact color]

Hello all,

I have a picture of text (non-latin characters) that is multicolored. Most of the text is black but certain words/letters are purple, red, blue, etc. and I want to get rid of them. The black and white tool works but the previously colored text is now a shade of gray instead of being pure black. I also played with the contrast and brightness but it the text bleeds and becomes unreadable. The background is also pure white.

I am quite the noob so go easy on the terminology.
