I'm trying to get an image to be only two colors, black and white, and still have the contrast without the image being distorted. I've played around with levels, curves, etc. but I can only get a grayscale looking image. Anyone have any suggestions? Or is this a lot harder then it sounds?

Hi Tantalus,
Right off the top of my head, you could go to IMAGE/ADJUST/BRIGHTNESS-CONTRAST and take the Contrast up to the max on a white background

or

Try FILTER/ARTISTIC/CUTOUT and try LEVELS of 2 ...

In both instances you would probably have to Desaturate the picture to make it Black and White
