<x-charset iso-8859-1>Add an adjustment layer to your image, and make the type "threshold." Then
use the slider to determine what locations in the image you want to place
your eye-dropper markers (I can't remember what you call the 4 eye-dropper
thingies you can place on the image).

Once you've placed your eye-droppers for white point and black point, throw
away the adjustment layer. Now you have you original image with eye-droppers
at the places in the image that you want to use as the white pint and black
point.

Buy PS6 and you won't need to do this anymore, and you can see the image in
color while you're doing it.

How do you do this on a PC with 5.5?  Thanks,
