Looking for something to evenly darken lines

FastLineDarken (version 1.3) is a really nice filter, but at high strengths it becomes kind of 'blotchy'.

Strength at 255, luma cap at 255 -- note the glasses and the line of the kid's right shoulder

Strength at 55, luma cap at 255 -- this is the setting I've been using.

What I'm after is either another filter that will darken the lines more evenly, or a way to tweak this one so that the darkening isn't so variable.

Never mind, I think I figured out the problem. The settings for BlindDeHalo were off, and it was killing all the lines. Not enough to be a visible problem by itself, but it stopped FastLineDarken from doing what I wanted.
