HOW TO: Remove the line art from the white bg

Journal Entry: Sat May 2, 2009, 3:39 AM
Since not many of you check my blog for updates and such i thought i should just post this here since its very useful:

Removing white background from lines
Every time i scan a drawing i have to set it on multiply to get rid of the white background that is paper. So i googled for a solution and i saw this website: [link]

You will need photoshop for this!!

The short version:
1. Scan line art as greyscale image, or covert it to such
2. Create a new blank layer and name it Inks
3. Go to the Channels palette and there is only one channel called Grey
4. At the bottom of the channels palette, click on the dashed circle icon entitled Load channel as selection
5. In Select drop down menu select Inverse
6. Go to your Inks layer
7. Press D on your keyboard to reset the swatches to full black in active color
8. Press Alt + Delete (or Option + Delete if you're using a Mac) to fill the selection with black
9. On the background layer, press Ctrl + A (Command + A) to select and then Delete to delete the line art on that layer.
10. Convert to RGB or CMYK.


This is a very simple and effective way to get rid of the white background when you scan your drawings without losing the quality of your lines without having to set your lines to multiply. I am sure some of you will find this very useful.

Dude, your art is just amazing. I mean it has its sex appeal, and it's furry appeal, but what makes it great is the use of color, emotion, and poses. It's just great art. ^^

Sweet I found you. The sad thing is about me that most of the sentances on your "How to Feel Miserable as an Arist" 7 out of 10 I underlined. The only ones that I didn't were 6, 7, and 9. Anyway I love your gallery. Amazing art.

I am an artist, I am me. No one can change that and never should. Individuality is what makes us all beautiful in our own way.

I believe: Boys in Speedos or white briefs, with impressive big crotches, are far sexier than anything!!
I'm not a provocative fag; I'm just a guy who enjoys his homosexuality.
