Change a black image to white. B&W filter not working

Hey everyone,

I am looking to try and change the color of an image from black to white while still keeping all the detail.  Attached you will see what I am trying to accomplish.  The white image was already that color, I just used a contrast filter to brighten it up a little.  I do not care if any of the buttons change color as well because I have them set on another layer to overlay when I finish the next steps after getting it to be white.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi

Changing from black to white is very difficult due to the lack of detail in the extreme dark grays. If you bring up the levels you will see horrible "blockiness".

However given the similarities between those two images, why not use the white one on top of the black then just paint over the remaining details.
