The Photoshop Thread

I didn't realise we had this thread - so I put it in the photography thread.

I now know we have this thread, and was advised to put it in here, so I'll just lift it.

"Hello Photoshop dons.

I have a request for you today.

Either telling me it can't be done, telling me how, or a link to a tutorial will be much appreciated.

I have googled, but alas I have found no clue.

After a bit:

EDIT: Hahaha. Wrong picture, I think :P

This is just a mock picture I was trying it out on. I have a lot of pictures that just started out as doodles, but now I really like.

Is there a decent way of removing the lines?

For this one, I just went around with the clone-stamp brush for a bit, then got bored. This is an issue, as the pictures are a LOT more complex than this one.

They're mostly just line drawings, no shading - so I thought if I could get rid of the blue lines, I could threshold it, then fill in the gaps and tweak it etc.

Any tips are much appreciated."

You could use the pen tool and create each section into a solid shape (remembering to make seperate layers for each) , after that you would need to delete the paths and then bring the fill down to 0...then just add a stroke at what ever thickness you want, which would make the lines look better and crisp. Either that or be really careful and erase the lines with the erase tool?

hope this help (Y)

Forgot to mention: you need to fill the path before you delete it, thats what make it a solid shape.

image, mode, grayscale.

image, adjusments, levels

click the white ink dropper button and select a grey area

click the black ink drop and select a black area

alternatively use the contrast (shitter version)

then just erase the bits you don't want and keep the line drawing

leaving you with...

If it was me i'd just open in Pshop and draw over the top of the image in a seperate layer with a clear background. When finished erase the original image layer and you have a nice new digital image.

Use illustrator and vectorise the whole thing.
