Hmm I tend to use clipping masks on stead of a layer mask. Just filling lineart with base colors and then clip mask the shadows and highlights

This would be a bit faster I think

I'm curious. Does this apply to other layers of the picture?

Klayde In reply to RomeCat17 [2010-01-06 21:45:50 +0000 UTC]

If the layers aren't in the folder itself than no.

Okay. Do you have a lineart tutorial? That's where I need help. Linearting a sketch.

Adena22 In reply to ??? [2009-12-20 19:45:08 +0000 UTC]

I like the idea of creating a mask on the folder, never heard that one before... I'm going to use that system. You know I love me masks and this makes it easier to use.

Thanks!

Klayde In reply to Adena22 [2009-12-21 19:50:14 +0000 UTC]

Haha yeah i found out recently that you could put the alpha on folders, which was the discovery of the year for me~ saves a hell lot of time

Dajs [2009-12-15 00:13:15 +0000 UTC]

The way I do this is make selections like you do but save em on layers, then I lock layer pixels, similar effect.

What can masking do again? I heard it once but I need to hear it again for a memory check.

Klayde In reply to MikotoNui [2009-12-14 14:08:46 +0000 UTC]

Masking basically hides (but doesn't erase) anything on your composition~

Very insightful, particularly the selection contrast part. Eliminating white spots and doing clean up was always a hassle for me so this should be a great help! Thanks, dude!
