Hellowah,
as a photoshop virgin I'm trying to better myself. I scan my drawn sketches (pencil) and open them in photoshop. Here I adjust the picture and make all lines black, which kind of makes the background blue-ish and fuzzy, so all the crap needs to be erased. The thing is, the dark lines (ie the lines which are darkened with the pencil) are kind of black, and the lighter lines (where the lines are still a bit sketchy) appear darker than they were but really they're still grey. This ruins my life.
I've read some photoshop tutorials which are meant for comic artists but even they don't really know how to handle this situation.
I hope one of you can help me, since you are better people than me.. T___T thanks!

you can use levels in photoshop to make the blacks more black and the whites more white, the slider at the left darkens and the slider at the right lightens, hope this helped

there is always the desaturation to get rid of the blue, but i'm not sure what you mean by "junk"

ah nevermind... with a little bit of overtime I've just about finished my illustration anyway. n___n
