Basically, it sounds like what you want is to make the almost-whites
completely white, while keeping the almost-blacks unchanged. Right?

A great trick for that is the Dodge/Burn tool. Use Dodge mode,
Highlights, with a big brush size big, then brush over your entire
image. Anything that's almost white will get whiter, but dark areas
won't change at all. If you want it even whiter after the first pass,
make a second pass.
