Using GIMP, given a black text on a white area having some grayish smudges, how do I remove everything except the text?
for example this image, has gray outline around the text at places, I tried using the color tool with various tolerance but it always grabbed bits of the text. What is the proccess to be left with a sharper text? ( Redoing it in GIMP from scratch is easy, if one knows the font and size).
