Post by Agentarrow »

Depending on what program you're using, you can set the tolerance (it may be named differently) for the Magic Wand so you can change how much it's allowed to select.

Once I had most of the pixels in the letters selected I filled the selection with black and then reversed the selection and filled it with white. That created a mask which I put as another layer. I then proceed to zoom in and add and remove pixels from my mask until the letters were the only thing showing. Below is the result:
