   Saying specific values is bad, because people can get a variety of brightness and contrast in different images.
   
   What I do: Click and drag in the long white bar until I get something that I like.

   I forgot to say, nice tutorial. I was going to get up and make one pretty much the same but you got to it before I did :)

   Very nice, the exact values isn't bad, just give a base, I played with mine some.

   I find it helps to use the Photocopy filter (Filters -> Artistic -> Photocopy) [settings: every bar to the furthest right except sharpness[0 to (.6)] and mask radius [30 to 50] both of those depended on the picture and how you want it to look. The above makes the image look bolder and it removes those pointless little black/white dots.
   
   Also the Che from the attached picture was made with this tutorial.

   your tutorial is a little vague. You've written it in a manner that is readily understandable to you;"now choose #aeaeae as fg color + press ctrl + (Edit/fill fg)". What!?. You need to keep in mind that people wont know what you are talking about unless you present the information in a very clear cut way.

   This was very useful, and contained extra stuff while still maintaining simplicity! Thanks!
