Description This is a tutorial on seperating the sketch from the white background in Photoshop. I used one of my comic pages as an example.

I decided to make this because someone was asking for a tip in Photoshop and I wanted to make it simple and clear.

Update!!! Keyboard Shortcuts

Tutorial may benefit from adding keyboard shortcuts:

"
ctrl+alt+4 will select the fourth channel, which is barring any unusual circumstances (I actually don't know if this is the case with CMYK or not, research may be relevant here) usually the alpha channel

shift+backspace is a really quick way to fill (shift+backspace+enter almost always works, unless I've set up some wabby fill options prior)

There's also ctrl+a, ctrl+c and ctrl+v for the beginning of the process
"

Thanks for the Keyboard shortcut information

Hope this helps!!

I was debating writing a critique, but I'm not sure how to critique a tutorial beyond getting into presentation issues

anyway thanks for quantifying this, bookmarking to throw at people in the future

You may also want to qualify the existence or non-existence of a channel palette and point out where to find it (under the Window menu); its presence is not guaranteed, I recall the first time I tried to do something like this I got confused because I didn't know what this 'channels' they were talking about was

ahhh~ XD separate the sketch from the white background?~

Why not create another layer in the first place, so that you don't later have to separate it from the background? XDD

Though this is an interesting tip if someone is trying to colour in an already drawn lineart. Though there is an option in layers called "multiply" that you can select on other layers.

owo

Are you saying to create a new layer so u can draw the lineart on that one?

this is for if u wanna scan in ur lineart and not draw it digitaly. I prefer this way. It takes less time on the computer because coloring takes less time than Lineart digitaly.

true, you can use the multiply option, but i didn't want any white background, so i just remove the white background after i seperate it. So it's just lineart.

Get wat im saying?

Kurayami-Tsuki In reply to ScaredyAsh006 [2011-01-17 21:17:26 +0000 UTC]

yes~ both ways are equally as useful xD

I tend to simply multiply my images so that I can colour them in quick.

xD sometimes I would want a picture without background. and if i simply click multiply, i still have to get rid of the background from my lineart. and if i erase the background i might accidently erase the lineart. and this process only takes...maybe a minute or half.
