Making LineArt thinner in Photoshop.

Just need a bit of help in photoshop. Basically, sometimes when I do my lineart, it's way to thick, and rather than going over it with an eraser I was wondering if there is any way at all to get it just a bit thinner(or thicker as I sometimes need). Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Quick and dirty:

    1. Use Magic Wand to select artwork (or select all white parts and Invert Selection [Ctrl+Shift+I])
    2. Contract selection by X pixels (Select > Modift > Contract [I believe, off the top of my head])
    3. New layer
    4. Fill with color
    5. ???
    6. Profit.

    That will more-or-less work, except if the white parts are all white it might be easier to select by color range rather than magic wanding each individual white area.

    No, that would be too smart.
