i like this method but it seems a bit long. if you are starting with a "bitmap" piece that means its only black and white pixels (in other words no anti-alias)... simply magic wand the black pixels (with "continuous" and "anti alias" off, i simply set the range to 1 cause that's truly what it is) it will select all the black pixels in the piece. then simply copy and paste onto a new black layer. same result as this vid. less steps though.

Good point about the bitmapped line - I added an annotation about its equal usefulness for bitmap or anti-aliased line art!

Thanks!

@FreddieArtMedia - groovy. good to know it works for anti-aliased as well and might very well be the method ive been searching for, for dealing with anti-aliased linework.

@FreddieArtMedia Nice Freddie! Just to add...with Freddie's method even if you down sample the image and it becomes anti aliased along the way the channel will still hold a true transparency.

Fantastic. Just tried it. I too used to use the wand.
