Changing the black and white threshold

Changing black and white threshold only applies to images using the Black & White Bitmap output type. The threshold is a value in the image that represents the border between black and white. All values in the image that are lighter than the threshold appear as white, and all values darker appear as black.

The image has a default threshold value. Choosing a number closer to zero makes more values appear as white. Choosing a higher number makes more values appear as black.
