Is there some conversion utility that does a better job, or something in the gimp that I'm missing? I've got it in greyscale, and fiddled with the levels/curves so that there aren't that many shades and the contrast is pretty high, but when I convert it to b&w, the gimp turns it to noise. Any ideas? -- Josh Huber
