Line width from PDF file

Question

Hello,

I placed a simple line drawing embed from a PDF file to Photoshop. I earsed the background and any objects I did not want in the file. I am now left with a black lined drawing. The black line is too thick. Is there a way to reduced the thickness of this line? Any help is greatly appreciated.

TIA,

Cathy

@Alluring_Dreamer3383 – Ideally, for the best quality, this would be done on the vector file before rasterizing into Photoshop (presuming that the lines are vectors to begin with).

You can use the Filter > Other > Maximum to make the lines thinner, with minor quality loss:

Or you can play with one of my latest toys:
