Hello! Looks like the link to the tutorial you learned from doesn't point to anything but a front page with nothing else in sight. I've been spreading yours around, though, because they are super-amazing and I learned a lot from them!
Hi Safari! First, thanks alot for this tutorial, will will save me LOTS of time. I have a stupid question for you. Once you're done with the image and you need to save it as a tiff, how do you get the line work to appear within the image, Ive tried a couple different ways and I'm still only getting the base colors. Thank you in advance!
@diamondgoatmedia I actually have a new channel for my tutorials now and have one covering this very thing. :) The username is hueville, it's the 2nd tutorial down on the main channel page. Hope that helps!
What I don't understand is why you would work in RGB. If the comic is going to see print, why not use CMYK right off the bat? It just seems like extra work to do it in RGB, then convert to CMYK and then have to check out all your colours to make sure that they are within the gamut of CMYK.
@Klif It's just the way I learned. I color with the cmyk preview on so that the visible colors are actually what will show when you convert to cmyk. Plus there are many filters and layer effects that will not work in cmyk. So it's just what works for me. Not everyone works this way, and you can easily set up your files in cmyk from the start if that's what you like doing.
This video helps me so much! Oh My God! Thank you veeeeeeery f***** much!!!! THANKS A LOT!! Really! This was very important to me because I haven't got a clue on how to manage this software for doing exactly what you are doing.
I draw manga and this is very helpful.
I have a little question: What is the best way to convert the image that I scan (already inked) to a black and white image, without any grayscale pixel... I mean, only black and white. Is that possible?
As far as converting your image goes. I'd say make sure you scan your files in at a high resolution... say 600dpi or so. Then in phtoshop you can convert the file to bitmap format. You do that by going to Image->Mode and then chose your mode. To get up to bitmap if your starting from an RGB format just convert it once to grayscale. Then convert it again to bitmap. Hope that helps!
hi lisa i tried doing your step using photoshop 7, however, everytime i get to the step of pasting the art into the channel, the ink turns to pink... i think i miss out on something but i can't seem to know why... and everytime i make a new channnel... the page turns black...
Ok, try this, once you've pasted the page into a new channel then you double click the channel to bring up the channel options. Double click the grey area of the channel beside the name, not actually the name or it will just select the text for you to rename the channel. Anyway, once the options box is open chance the color to black and opacity to 100%. That should fix it.
thanks! I'm planning on making a new tutorial soon, I realized that I forgot to mention a couple of things in this one. So I hopefully will get it up in the next couple weeks. Glad you enjoyed it!

@safarisunset83 Most pros do it this way for many reasons, so I'd stick with working in RGB.

You have the sexiest voice for a colorist. Think about doing some voice-over work or maybe, I dunno.

the sound could do with being a LOT louder, I had to put my speakers on max - I didn't even realise there was sound at the start.

Sorry I don't know much about getting the sound to work really well. I have a kind of cheapo microphone that I had to make work the best I could.
