I have a set of line drawings made in dark pencil on white paper. Sopme of the paper is a little creased and marked - generally the worse for wear, and some of the lines are relatively faint. I have been attempting to convert them into 'tidy' b and w line drawings with photoshop. Playing with levels, I can get rid of most of the creases and marls, but I would like the lines to appear smooth, evenly dark and unbroken. Any advice on how to convert lines of varying intensities to even smooth dark lines?

Try "F1" then "Using the Threshold command".
