Description DescriptionI never feel right making tutorials because, I don't consider myself a very advanced user of Photoshop. I never feel like I'm in the right place telling other people how to do it.

And I know this isn't an advanced tutorial, but many people don't know how to do this. I also know there are other tutorials out there explaining this exact same thing. . .

I was asked recently how to get the white off sketch images and it reminded me of how often I really am asked that. So have a tutorial for everyone in the future who needs to know.

Which version of Photoshop do you have? c: Is it listed under "Window" in the menubar?

Awe, sorry. In the first paragraph of the tut, it says it won't work in Elements.

Aw man! I got elements... Oh well, at least I got a good and black pen, and contrast settings for my line arts! Maybe this tutorial will become useful for me if I get a newer PS.
