How to edit manga scans with Photoshop

[TheMiniJuliet]

ahahaha... you've done a lot of effort!.. you can just use pen and fill... btw.. what application did you use to record what you have done??

[mistressdragonchan]

@TheMiniJuliet I actually hate using the pen tool haha. I prefer to just use the lasso tool. I'm not sure what the program was called since it was two years ago but I just googled screen recording program and chose one.

[TheMiniJuliet]

@mistressdragonchan ohhh.. wait.. screen recording progam.. you sure?.. whew. anyway, do you still edit and color?

[mistressdragonchan]

@TheMiniJuliet Yeah I'm sure haha. I do every now and then. I have one friend who I do them for all the time.

[TheMiniJuliet]

@mistressdragonchan do you have a devian account?.. may i see you art works?

[mistressdragonchan]

@TheMiniJuliet Haha I don't have a deviant account. The only way my stuff gets posted is to a few role play sites haha.

[annatheawesome1]

I knew I recognized this manga! It's 7 Kiss by Morita Fuji.

[mewmewbunny1]

How do you record things like this?

[mistressdragonchan]

@mewmewbunny1 With screen recording software. I just googled it and I think it was one of the first links.

[breeziegrl1]

[mistressdragonchan]

How come when you're using your brush, to color in the skin it was so precise without you having use the lasso tool to select a certain area to color? .. Sorry if that doesn't make sense @w@"

[mistressdragonchan]

The best thing I can tell you is that I zoom in really close to run just along the lines. Plus I have my hardness set to 100%. That makes the edges a not as fuzzy

[ExiaGeass]

I do myspace role play and this just helped alot! :]

Thank you. ^^

[KrissyHime]

I can do manga scans, my only handicap was the skin.

What do you set it to for the red, green, and blue and what mode did you have the brush on for it?

0:)

[mistressdragonchan]

I'm not sure really what you mean by the red green and blue. I never change anything having to do with those lol. Though with the brushes I just leave them set to normal

[KrissyHime]

Never mind, I asked a couple of people on myspace and figured it out. But thanks for the overall help on it. :)

[MehxChan]

the original link isnt working D:

[mistressdragonchan]

lol sorry.

I accidentally deleted all my originals out of my photobucket. I'll upload it again in a bit

[sirus229]

You don't do myspace role play do you by anychance?

[mistressdragonchan]

Yes I do actually. I rp as my "dragon" character I'm always showing in my videos

[hinsts]

is this on cs3

[mistressdragonchan]

No, all my videos as of now are all on CS2. I haven't made any yet on CS3

[poppyseedish]

HOW DO YOU GET THE BRUSH ON CONTINUOUS!? Everytime I try and edit things it just overlaps with a darker colour on multiply!

[mistressdragonchan]

You have to set your LAYER to multiply, Not the brush

[poppyseedish]

It still doesn't work. I just tried it and it STILL overlaps. Do I turn the brush to a different setting and keep the layer set to multiply.? I use CS3, and all it does is overlap with a darker colour.

[mistressdragonchan]

You leave the brush set to Normal, only the layer should be set to multiply.

[poppyseedish]

Now it just goes over every line. xD Whatever I'll just hold it down and shit.

[mistressdragonchan]

its supposed to go over every line. Lol its just a layer of color that is underneath everything. The way I edit you can go outside lines and then erase the excess.

[hinsts]

where do u find the multiply thing

[ginaexlimationpoint]

Lasso tool is a wonderful thing darling :P.

[mistressdragonchan]

I prefer not to use it. It takes longer

[emogaara1231]

.o. that seems simple i thought it was harder xD

thanks fer the tutorial!

=D

[mistressdragonchan]

Lol really its not that hard to do. Though my way is slightly more complicated than most xD lol you're welcome

[emogaara1231]

._. that was the complicated part?

xD it's simple!

i feel silly ._.

i have cs4 and i just found out how

to do this T~T xD

[Cutoffpant]

well like, i can't seem to like upload it on myspace, or any other site.

[mistressdragonchan]

What are you saving it as? I know several people that can't upload PNGs so that might be it

[Cutoffpant]

im kinda like a beginner on this soo., how do u save it like omgosh, it ses Photoshop format options, and maximum compatibility... i dont get that, once i go upload i don't even see my pic, whats that?

[mistressdragonchan]

You have to go up to file and then down to save or save as. I honestly can say that I don't know where you are by what you're saying. I've never seen anything like that. Are you trying to save it as a JPEG or PNG?

[hinata2437]

wat photoshop did you use?

[mistressdragonchan]

Adobe Photoshop CS2

[xXxXAngelzXxXx]

sooo coool! :D Thank you so much for this! It helped me alot heheh! :D

[chronaxdeaththekid]

oh how do you keep the color from crosing the lines

[mistressdragonchan]

I do all the coloring on a separate layer underneath the lines

[xNeRd4LiFeX]

how do you do that?

[mistressdragonchan]

I explain it pretty well in the video, you just have to watch it. You create a new layer under the "lines" layer and then color on that. Set the "lines" layer to multiply

[chronaxdeaththekid]

hey nice tutorial wahts the name of this music its awsome

[mistressdragonchan]

Its Hollywood Undead. The names are up in the description of the video
