How can I change the color of this image to white, without lose the texture?

[nivlek]

Hello, I really apreciate your help: I don't know how to erase that yellow and
black colors without losing the texture. I have this image as a layer and the eraser tool
doesn't work for my purpose.

I cleared it changing its settings to black & white and then, making it brighter, but it lost a
lot of texture.

Thanks in advance for your help from this newbie. :redface:

the colors make up the textures ,removing the colors is going to remove the texture
could you restate what you are trying to do?

Thanks. I did it after reading your answer. It invert also the texture, so
not working well. But I just tried making that layer a "Smart Object" and using
the magic eraser. Apparently, it works!!

Thanks a lot, your answer made me find that way!

thats strange changing to smart object changed the color, smart objects are not editable as far as eraser goes . I'm missing something but if it works for you that all that matters good luck.I must be not understanding.
