[subarustarz]

hello,i want to ask you how to save a photoshop made picture for websites.When i make it the colour is fine but when i save for web devices,the colour is never saved perfectly,it appears dotted(the colouring),please can you tell me a way to save drawings without its colour ruining?

[pencilkillerouch]

@subarustarz Try the "save for web" option, choose save as jpg format and maximum for quality.

an easier way to unlock a layer is to just drag and drop the lock into a the trash can at the bottom of the layers window

[zane203]

how is he tracing the outlines so smoothly O_o, is he using a computer usb pad?

[reven9518]

Paint.nets better for this imo

[Sakura17930]

In my computer the Paint bucket u used in 1:10 and the box of layers in the right of the screen dont appear! Why is that?

[DarrenTanhcc]

where to get photoshop?

[KigekiHakuchi]

sadly,with money lol

[Darkmaster16]

get GIMP

is open source and free

and is identical to photoshop ;)

[StrawberryWhipcream]

It's not like GIMP at all, but GIMP is OK also. (I started out on Gimp)

[yyyy2999]

[qottabeatfred]

thanks for the tut, when i tried to color in my art the color always bleeded over my black lines, anyone know why that is?

[tonyvandemil]

I scanned in my pencil drawing, and now i'm stuck in the gray mode. every color I use is a gray value. how do I get out of that?

[YrUlUKkiNAtM34]

place the mode in RGB mode to get out, i was there as well when i tried to color my art, its twice as hard to change a bitmap into a psd file....

[blackvans1234]

How is it that when you're coloring something in, it doesnt color over the lines that are alredy there?

thats my main problem

message me with an answer somebody

thanks

[immzundastood]

Because you layer. You are not actually coloring the same paper. For example say you have your line art. It would be like putting tracing paper over that and coloring in carefully the skin. Then you take another layer and build the shadows - all without going over the lines and bleeding out onto other layers. In the end you would flatten or merge layers into one picture. :) Hope that helps.

[blackvans1234]

yea but when i use layers, it darkens the lines, doesnt necesarilly go over them, but it darkens them

could that be

[emanlluf]

Change the "layer mode" of your lineart to "multiply" and place it at the top of your layer stack.

With multiply mode the white areas of that layer will become transparent, allowing you to work on underlying layers, while still maintaining the integrity of the lineart.

[Sawlover57]

or have the original on normal and have the new layers on multiply,you still color on top of it

[98nfsmw98]

cool, thanks :)

[SKIPSUBxxx]

YAY! Thank you soo much. I always new you COULD layer, but I never new how. Ugh, it used to take FOR ever to carefully colour in everthing, but now its super easy!

[Seji]

I really like your tutorial. Even though you don't talk, you still provide proper instructions that help! I hate the "tutorials" that don't tell you what they're doing, they just show what they do but yours actually helped me out a lot. Thanks so much! ^_^

[kohari1994]

[Inuyashakagome333]

you can't just use magic wand instead of lasso tool? that's what i do and it works really well. BTW how can i take Video on my computer like that?

[waterbender42]

I've heard people use a program called CanStudio, but I've never used it, so I don't know how it works.

[waterbender42]

I mean CamStudio

[Totalidiocy]

Using the magic wand doesn't' look very good (at least in PS Elements...)

[yazngirl]

i cant rename the layers

[SocksRockz]

Double click on the default layer name (eg. Layer 2, the the layers window next to it's preveiw) and a type box should open in its place

[pirateraiden]

thanx for the the tutorial and tips for manga studio also!
