Scanning Comics: How to color? How to clean up?

<< < (2/4) > >>

Sherwood WindRunner:
Well, I scanned my image useing black and white settings. Then, I take each individual panel and put them into the "Flash FireWorks" program. Then, I just take the bucket tool and fill it in. If you fill it in twice it sorta like filling it in MORE, so it gets rid of that grainy outline inside whatever you're coloring.


Oh, for erased pencil marks and all, I've found if you use the bucket tool and color it in, it will completely cover all those ugly marks.



Well, I'll post more if I find some more tricks. Thanks guys! :-D

Couple of ways to do this. The Level/Contrast tricks are really not that great.

If you want sharp lines, create a new layer and use the pen tool to recreate the lines. Then paint over that. Do not use the bucket tool.

If you want to keep your scanned lines, create a new layer and set it to "Multiply." Paint on that. Still do not use the bucket tool.

bryanthelion:
Couldnt you just scan it and then make a layer on top of your scanned image? Then trace? Thats what I would do if I used photoshop.

C Patrick Carolan:
Using the Photoshop pen tool with a mouse is an exercise in utter frustration and torture. Unless you've got a graphics tablet, it's really not all that easy to use.

thecurse:
It just takes practice.
