thanks i got it, but i still don't like the result, what you said on the video that you will make a tutorial on those dots,, i'm really looking forward to it, i really really need it, could you atleast reply on what you use to do that? is it smuggle or something else? cause i only have limited information about photoshop and illustrator. thanks again for all the help

[maglot]

@batangcoldfire Nah you just use Illustrator. The white and black arrow tools can be used to move the dots, which are refered to as anchor points, around. I never really mess with it cuz it's a real pain and a lot of work. Just experiment and you'll figure it out.

I just got illustrator but my manga lines in not really what i imagine it would be, as soon as i hit live trace some of my thin lines and very thin details disapeared, could you tell me how to work this out

[maglot]

@batangcoldfire As I said in the video, make sure your images are scanned in at 300dpi or higher. It provides better results because the image is larger and there is more data for Illustrator to work with.

I'm definitely going to try this. Would Live Trace work with non inked images? I rarely ink anymore.

[maglot]

@davidkerr4 It works on any image, but to varying degrees of success. If you're talking about trying it on pencil, the lines tend to come out all broken up and lumpy since it's detecting all the smudges and tiny marks that show up in the scan.
