    To be more clear: in the specific case I was working with, the paper color was too similar to the parts I wanted to keep, and therefore it was making my image too transparent (and also altering the color balance.) But I bet that result is fairly common any time someone is working with an image that isn't completely black and white.

    I tried masking with a selection before applying the filter, but the results weren't satisfactory. The paintbrush version seems to help.
