 Posted: Mon Jan 18, 2010 3:27 pm Post subject: Fill/Paint Bucket tool problems |
 |
|
I'm trying to photoshop something for a portfolio. I drew it, inked it, and scanned it.
I tried using Threshold and that gave me untold number of problems. Then I used paths and the pen tool to ink it manually on photoshop.
Problem is that, using both methods, everytime I use Fill or the Paint Bucket tool, I get this white outline or space in between the color I just used and the black outline/ink of the drawing. Is there anyway I can stop this? This also happens when I use the Magic Wand to highlight areas. If there's something wrong with the outline, is there I way I can transfer the current outline into the right way (Because I had to refine the ink so the path and the ink is slightly different since I had to erase some of it.) |

You can change the tolerance of the magic wand which may help you get a more accurate selection. You can alter the tolerance on the paint bucket as well. You can also tweek the selection using Select-Modify Expand, or refine edge. |

Tolerance doesn't work, I've tried.
I've also tried expand and that doesn't work too well.
I still don't understand why it's doing that in the first place. Can someone explain. |

You can try trapping the color. Make a backup copy of your art in RGB (if that's the mode your using), then change the copy to CMYK mode.
go under 'Image' and choose 'trap'. You can set the pixel range in there.
In the old days using graphics cameras long before photoshop was born, there was a technique called choques and spreads. This was for making sure colors filled outlines tightly. Photoshop can imitate this technique and force colors to spread beneath the outlines. Hopefully that'll work for ya.
