Well thats the problem with this whole situation.
Thats why rich is right that tracing is the best solution. But its also a bit like shooting with cannons on sparrows.
When you crank the Level too much up, you lose the anti-aliasing (the semi transparent pixels that prevent the strokes from looking jaggy).
Its especially delicate because the image is so tiny. Your stroke has a width of 2 pixels. Thats just one pixel left for antialiasing.
In my opinion what you present us here is a very common noob situation.
The source material is far from ideal and too small, you think an image editor should be able to easily fix your problem.
It sounds so simple: all you want is to make it look brighter.
But in reality (and keep in mind that im a bit of a sick perfectionist), its not easily done.
So heres what you can do:
- live with the fact that it will not look perfect
- find a better image
- make your own symbol
I would try to find a better image. Preferably vector. Do a reverse google image search !
Or do a search for clipart, etc.
With that being said, here is what i was able to do:
