Hi there !

Could somebody help me please ?

I try to do extract text for a document with FineReader. It works fine with black text on white background.
The problem is that some parts of the document have black text on a kind of gray background.
In fact this gray background is made of small black dots, like the text, and the OCR can get it.

Is it possible to remove the background with Photoshop to have only the text left ?

Hope my english is understandable.

Thanks.

Ben.
