In a pencil drawing I usually move the white slider even further left (to make the paper even whiter). Move them closer together to match the actual beginning and end of black in the histogram. Often you’ll notice that the white and black sliders are not actually where the histogram begins. The white slider regulates the lighter tones the grey one the tones in the middle and the black one the dark tones. You’ll get a popup window with several sliders in different shades. In Photoshop and Photopea: go to Image (at the top) > Adjustments > Levels. In all three programs: use the crop tool on the left and adjust the frame.

Photopea looks almost the same as Photoshop and has many of its features.
