You're an absolute legend. I've FINALLY found a guide that makes sense and doesn't rush through the process. The feeling I got when I successfully exported it after many, many failures was so rewarding... THANK YOU!!!

[@wariTV35]

I have been breaking my head over getting my scanned art lines really dark. This is the best technique I have seen so far, easy and best results. THANK YOU so much for creating this video.

[@WildBillTurkey]

Man, this one video has changed my life. There are other methods to be found on KZbin, but this one, leaving your line art as a selection, is by far the most complete and spectacularly useful. Thanks for posting it!!

[@miguelmoncloacastillo1160]

You don’t know how grateful I am. Something good is coming your way, that’s for sure!

[@cuttothechasenews]

This is hands down the best video i have found on extracting your line work. Thank you

[@art-by-ren]

[@cuttothechasenews]

Wow. You not only answered my question of best way to scan in comic art. But then you decided to go so much more and give me a real education on this. THANK YOU

I really think this guy should be eating something really loud like a pack of crisps and a soda with a straw to complete the ambience.

[@Stanpai]

Very helpful, but also the sound of you constantly smacking your lips and all that was extra painful on 2x speed. Please avoid this if you can to help people like me.

[@BGomez-tk7lu]

Man, not all heroes wear cape. Thanks a lot

[@gotharion]

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.... I follow all the steps 1 by 1 (PS CS6) with a red based sketch... I select the red channel (like you did with blue) and... nothing happens. The red is still there. I can't remove it.

[@Shadoufang]

Thank you for sharing, man!

[@MoniBolis]

[@RecklessHeroHQ]

[@oldgeezerfitnessr.perales7344]

Rempve blue pencil?? The pencil says non photpgraphic??? Why temove if it wont be photographed?x

[@WildBillTurkey]

Thank You! This answered many questions for me! One last important one: What are you using for a scanner? I see it's Epson software, but you can select A3 size, and I haven't found any healthy-looking A3 size scanners on the market. What have you got, and do you like it? Thanks again!

[@a_meek_1625]

How do I get the line art to be completely opaque and black? When I use the paintbucket tool to fill in the selection, I can still see my pen marks, but I want it to be a solid fill.

every time i zoom close to the page its very pixelated i scanned it as a tiff file at 200 dpi and put it in photoshop and always have this problum is it because of the new project i create in photoshop

[@borahcn]

Well my scanner finds other colors in cyan pencil lines what should I do? Know I delete all the rgb and I apply 128 level threshold. But it doesn’t look like this. *PLEASE HELP*

[@OscarGtheGreat]

I have no idea how this is working for anyone, is it because I'm using a TIFF format? Even so I tried to use a PNG file instead but none of these steps are working and it's pissing me off.

[@bearwolfhawk]

my apartments office scanner only has a pdf or jpeg file type 🥴 guess it’s gunna be jpeg

[@hotpopcorncake]

Ain't there more easer way to take out the blue?

[@mandoscott]

Easier than clicking blue and it disappearing?

“For God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” - John 3:16 Jesus loves you and died for you on the cross. He did this to wash away the burden of sins, and if you open your heart to Him, He can take away the burden and give you a peace incomparable to anything in this world. God bless everyone here. ✝✝🙏

Very monotonous narration like old tv news.
