Description I've been asked about my method of pixeling smooth lines a few times, so here it is! Why waste hours pixeling when you can get the same effect with this quick, easy approach? c:

If this doesn't work for you, check to make sure that your lines are NOT already transparent. The lines have to have a background for this to work.

What program do you use?

snoxness In reply to WildfireDesigns [2012-09-27 03:55:44 +0000 UTC]

Photoshop CS2 ^^ And I've tried this in versions of Photoshop as low as Elements 7. I've also tested it in the Paint.NET program and it has worked.

Hmmm... It might just be the program though. I'll try it in GIMP.

Let me know if it works out! I've only attempted this in programs that I've owned, so I'm not sure about others.

I'd be honoured if you'd accept the invitation to put it in my Pixel group.
