Description
I recently got asked how I color my outlines, and I couldn't explain it properly without pictures, so - here's my second Tutorial:
Coloring Outlines in Photoshop (3 different methods)
This is more an addition to the first tutorial. The first method (outlines on transparent background) I already mentioned there.
I used Photoshop CS3.
If anything is unclear, please let me know.

Hoe do you get the transparent background is there somewhere I click on to do this?

If you mean, how to get the photoshop file (with layers), click download on the left side.

It's exactly described in the tutorial, even with what key combination you can fill the layer (or use the bucket tool). It's under #1. Before I repeat it, please have a look there again.

hey, das is n sauguter tip. ich hab mich immer abgemΓΌht, die outlines gleich in der farbe zu zeichnen, wie ich sie gebraucht hab. was teilweise sehr unpraktisch ist, wenn die farbe dann am ende doch nich passt. aber jetz weiss ich, wie man die farbe Γ€ndern kann.yay

Du bist eine ausgezeichnet Lehrerin, Tani.

Just add/create a new layer - it will always be transparent (unless you fill it with a color).

Hmm der erste Weg funktioniert bei mir irgendwie nicht. Obwohl ich kein gutes Englisch kann hab ich glaub ich alles richtig gemacht. Transparenter BG beim Outline und dann einfach die Ebene gelockt und dennoch bleibt es Schwarz
π: 0 β©: 1
Es muss schon das "lock transparent pixels" icon sein (nicht das allgemeine locken/sperren). Und dann musst du die Ebene einfΓ€rben (von alleine passiert da nichts). Evtl. mal nen Screenshot machen?
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah okay, jetzt hab ichs glaub ich verstanden
Jedenfalls funktioniert es jetzt. Kann die Outline sogar hell fΓ€rben und sie bleibt trotz BG hell, das wollt ich schon immer kΓΆnnen
