[Image-SIG] Filtering out all but black pixels for OCR

[Mike Meisner]

I'd like to use PIL to prep an image file to improve OCR quality.

Specifically, I need to filter out all but black pixels from the image (i.e., convert all non-black pixels to white while retaining the black pixels).

Can someone please direct me to the appropriate PIL function/method to accomplish this along with a brief description of the correct arguments to use?

Thanks for your help.

Mike
