[HeyDreamer25]

[HeyDreamer25]

@HeyDreamer25 actually doest matter now xD i figured it out :3

[iow88woi]

@kaivin88 I've met the same problem.

Well, I done a google search and found out this helpful link~

graphicssoft.about.com/od/phot­oshop/ss/cs2smarttools_2.htm

The former "Group with previous" command is now "Create clipping mask." When you select multiple layers, they become a temporary "group" but you can put them in a permanent group using the "Group Layers" command.

[jimmoy1995]

whats the song lol???????????????????

[Txurniul]

ok, so, for every different color, i make a new layer, correct?

[jurc61098]

@sharpdasher ohh thankies!!

[rukiazero169]

this made me want to say to my mom,

GAWD I WANT A TABLET FOR MY BIRTHDAY DAMMIT! D:<

[ilovetostack]

@rukiazero169

I got one for my birthday. .___. :D

[jurc61098]

ummm how can you cut the lasso?? after tracing with the line i can't cut the line at all...... (btw I'm using adobe 7.0)

[craponnaruto]

The songs a remix of God Knows, now don't ask anymore

[shivaefrit]

hi as much as i love ur videos, i would just like to ask on how did you trace your drawings like that? it seems it was sketched right trough the monitor. heheh i tried using pen tool, brushes, pencils.. but it comes out bold, and kinda like the art u see wen u use paint! heheh hope you would respond. thank you :D

may i know wat kind of brush is it or wer i can use that tool and how much pixels? hehehe thank you. :D

[kaivin88]

why is it in my "layer" menu, has no "Group with Previous" only "Group Layers"?

[ShizukaYuukiko]

I remember now. ._.

Were you using a pen tablet?

[ShizukaYuukiko]

Do you also draw? [Just wondering]

And I was gonna ask you something else.

Curse my bad memory. FAK.

[BellaAliceConvalen01]

Now this is the kind of editing that I want people to do on YouTube not some noobish 1st grader coloring out of the line hair >:) goodjob 5 stars :3

[xheartlessx3]

This would have been super useful when i used to rolepay xD;

[Quitted 3 years ago]

[sora995]

IMPORTANT...is it possible to edit the same way using "Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2" ?

[SynicalKitten]

Ive never tried, But, If it has the multiply and whatnot, then I dont see why you wouldn't. :)

[MissHermit]

Thank you so much for the tutorial!! I'm gonna try my first manga coloring NAO!!!11 *___*b

[yukiXringo]

ya, thanks everyone

[JokerzBabez]

What they mean is

How do u select outside the lines and never color over the lines?

Like when you color something but it goes over the place u want it to go

Great vid btw

5/5

[JokerzBabez]

What they mean is

How do you select outside of the lines and never go over them?

[yukiXringo]

um how do u not go over the black lines?!

[SynicalKitten]

Huh ?

[jurc61098]

@SynicalKitten yah how do you do that??? i followed what you said ... to use polygonal tool but when i filled it with color the black lines for the hair is covered... why?

[cuteycutegirl54]

its on multiply so it doesn't affect the black.

[dazzles22]

@yukiXringo i think multiplying?

[billyclown]

@yukiXringo place linework layer above the colour layers

[oXCrimsonRoseXo]

@yukiXringo That's what you need Multiply for, it's made for NOT going on the background picture.

[MangaAnime572]

@yukiXringo u just have to set the layer on multiply :)

[DuetxxLuxe]

I hate the free selecting thing ;____;

It's so KSHKJHAHKA!!

So I use my brush instead haha and free shade .__.

[James747E]

How do you not go over the black lines?

[sabakyuugaara]

Thanks very much! This is the only PS colouring tutorial that has ever worked for me!

[pindaatje1]

how come none of your layers were locked? (thats the case with me: my layers are locked, so my problem is: when I create a new layer to colour this pic there, you can't see the lineart anymore)

pleaaaaase help~! ;A;

[SynicalKitten]

I dont lock mine.

I dunno what to say, have you checked the little padlock symbols under the layers tab bit? (n the layers window) Apart from that, im not sure what to say. :/ sorry, try googling around. ;-;

[Elliottx1]

Kururu and a God Knows KEIKO mix. I'm in love.

Also her hair is pink. :3

[SynicalKitten]

Lol, xP.

I know, I was editing this for my OC on myspace. C:

[CineMatiny]

Yo. What does "Multiply" do?

[SynicalKitten]

Its kinda hard to explain, but, With a manga scan, when you put colour on it. If you just set it to color or overlay, it just brightens the lines, and occasionally adds a little bit of colour. Whereas Multiply leaves the lines black and colours the white space.

[BassManiac07]

Uh; mangas are the worst for me. >_>

I rp too. As Zexion. Just wanted to say. =)

But; I've been around...since...2004. =]

Anyways; thanks for tutorial!

[SynicalKitten]

Sorry, this reply is late. arg. x.x;

Haha, Me too, I rather just stick with CG's and stuff. xD.

Really? Cool. Zexion is my fac Orgy member. o3o (Besides Demyx xD)

[wanyusri84]

same !!! i also use APS 7..

[SaesButterfly]

I WANNA RP WITH YOU

-realizes I closed my RP account-

....daaaamnnn.... ;____;

[SynicalKitten]

OH NOES! D:

dfhgfg. ;_;

[SaesButterfly]

;___; I'm considering making a new one. It ish fun.

I've forgotten how to code DIV's thou ^^;;;

And just wondering; how did you select the part of your hair you wanted you shade? I usually do it by hand(just paint a bit herre and there~) but you seemed to do something cool x3

[SynicalKitten]

You should :O

xD.

oooooh, I had a really good tutorial somewhere for making DIVs, If I find it again, I'll send it to you :3

& I used the Marquee tool again for the bigger bits, and a small paintbrush for the smaller ones. :D

[SaesButterfly]

I will I will xD I'm dead bored now anyway and summerholiday is starting o:

And and that would so come in handly; like; cant have a RP acc. with no DIV D:

-hits head- Of course. ...I usually just mask a lot when I edit xD

[SynicalKitten]

Haha, My acct doesnt have a div, but it's gotta hella load of coding on it to make it look pretty xDD.

Maaask? :O

[SaesButterfly]

Hahaha I didnt have one before like. two weeks before I quitted ^^;;; I miss RP'ing. I was Yuffie and Tifa XD

And yea; masking out objects and such I do it most on the originals or w/e the anime cg's are called now; to change color and such o: -wants to make a TuT on that- Tutorials are funny xD

[SynicalKitten]

Yuffie&TifaFTW! :D

Im Konata. xDD;

I used to be like, Namine, Rikku, a whole other random characters in between XDD.

Ohhhh, I think I attempted that before and failed. O:

[SaesButterfly]

XDDDDD Yeah I've been... many chars as well. I used to RP guys a long time too; like Vincent. And Roxas XD And Konata is awesome! I love Lucky Star x3

...I think its easy. And way more handy than marking everything and then lassoo tool or etc; cause thats hard to get exactly the way you want too; quick masks is easy that way o:

[SynicalKitten]

Lol. xDD. I roleplayed Roxas too! :O

I love Konata. o3o;

I shall have to learn to quickmask then, xDDD. Lassoo gets way too fiddly sometimes. D:

[SaesButterfly]

Indeed. Very handy thing to know O:

I wanna make a TuT too it; but I cant find a version of Hypercam that works ;__;

[SynicalKitten]

:O

Google Camstudio ~ It's free, and like, way easier and better than Hypercam :3

[SaesButterfly]

IHHH thanks for the tip -lessthanthree-

[SynicalKitten]

Youre welcomess. :3

[Catzchan]

=) Great tutorial kiddo!

I'll try this once I've got my tablet with me!

^_^;

Though knowing my luck I'll STILL find a way to muck up!

[punkrockgirl93]

o: Awesome I ought to try that soon ._.;

I never was really fond of the lasso tool XD

But Can I add your RP Myspace? :DD?

[SynicalKitten]

Me neither xDD.

But with manga editing it has since become my friend. :O

xDD

Suuure. I'll PM you the link, Because YT is being all pissy at me today. D<.

[punkrockgirl93]

Really? xD

I always thought it was too much of a hassle XD But I'm guessing not now ;D

&&

Yaay~ but evil YT D<

[SynicalKitten]

xDD.

It is when you need to select like, large spaces xD;

[fomasfcs]

I really liked the tutorial, but it is a little fast ^^ Have to pause all the time to be able to read everything. What I would have been interested in is, how the whole hair look like when they are colored. (But you mentioned that you are too lazy for that XD Sympathically ^^)

[SynicalKitten]

Thanks, & Sorry I know. ;-;''

Well, I'm working on a new graphics (&ect) website, and there'll be a written tutorial with pictures and in more detail on there lol.

Also, I re-edited the picture in this, It's here; (Remove spaces) h ttp : // i40. tinypic . com/2wc16hu. png I kinda used a different technique though. xDD;

I got too lazy with the other one. ;-;

[Waterbender94]

Ah thank you so much =D I've been wondering how to do that for awhile now n-n

[SynicalKitten]

No problem~ :D

[Jeyerre]

Amazing, you have a tablet?

[SynicalKitten]

Nope D:

I did have a tablet, But the pen thing for it is missing and the USB end broke. ;0;

I use my laptop pad thing. :)

[Jeyerre]

Daaamn what a pity!

You have a great talent, really. And patient .O__O

Mmm..Are you on deviant art?!

[SynicalKitten]

I didnt draw the picture btw~ :C

I tried to, But it came out all wrong. ;0;

I'ma put up a video of me doing fatal frame fanart soon~ xD;

& Yes. :D.

It's Mikuuru :]

[Shadowtemari]

O:

Wow, you're a very talented artist.

Thanks for doing this helped me to understand photoshop a little more! (:

[SynicalKitten]

Thanks, you're welcome. :]
