It must be incredibly easy.....

I have a program, a ballet program. It lists all the dancers. It is black text on white. typical program publication. I scanned it. It is now on my machine. All I want to do is convert the black to white and white background to transparent. Yes I'm fully aware of the alpha channel. I have carefully followed instructions from YouTube tutorials. No nothing works. I have a tooth ache and a deadline. WHy is this hard? it can't be.

Can you post your image? If you're working on a background layer, you do need to change that to a normal layer. I simple invert will change the text, and then either a mask or blend if sliders in the layer style will drop the bg.
