Hi,

I have a .bmp file with thin lines on a white background.
Imported into PS CS3, it is set by default as the Background layer.

I need to make the lines thicker and remove the white background completely.

Can anyone help?

Please and thank you.

Alt+dbl click the background layer in the palette to convert it to a normal layer. Now you can erase the background as needed.

Select the lines by whatever method works best
(magic wand perhaps). Then use edit-stroke to make them thicker.
