I scan cartoons I've drawn so that I can colour them in Photoshop. However, when I click within an area I wanted coloured, I get a thin white line between the colour and the black outline. No matter what I do, I cannot get rid of this except to keep on clicking the colour until the line disappears. Is there a quick and more effective way of filling colour without this hassle?

New to GIMP and would like to add some color to a line drawing. I have a line drawing that I scanned into the computer as a JPG. I've imported that JPG into GIMP.
the line drawing has a dozen or so areas created by the intersecting lines. I would like to fill the various areas with different colors. How can I do that?
If I pour a color paint on the picture without doing anything, the entire page changes to the color poured. Not what I want to do. I want area A to be red, area B to be blue, and area C to be yellow.
After filling the inside of a line drawing, (cartoon "shape"), I'm left with the checkerboard pattern that indicates transparency. I'd just like to get rid of that checkerboard pattern so I can view my drawing the way it really looks! Can this be done in GIMP?

What I basically want is the horse to remain white, with the black border, but the main background (underneath the horse) to be maroon.
I'd like to ask if it is possible to change colour of outline according to filling. I've traced the raster picture (outline tracing) and there is no outline and the picture seems to be disturbed by tiny white lines. So I'd add hair outline and I'd like to have the same colour of the outline as is the object. Is there any function what is able change it at once and all at the same time?

What I want to do is drawing circles with an outline (I know how to do that) but with a filling (background) colour which has a transparency of for example 50%. Is that possible and how should I do that?
Must I enter the outline and the filling part on two different layers to get the transparency for the filling colour?
My image is in grayscale though it's recognised as RGB. It contains structures in white which I would like to fill with a colour. So basically, I'd like for all the white in the image to show up as e.g. red.
How do I do that? I'm guessing it must be possible to have a red layer and somehow this will then fill the white, but I'm getting confused with background and foreground filling options and I don't know which transparency options I have to choose.
How do you take a JPG and convert it so it looks like the the image posted?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a cartoon line drawing. The black outlines are anti aliased so the edges of the lines have different grades of gray pixels on them. When I use the fill tool, and adjust the fill with the opacity and tolerance sliders, (I think that's what they're called in GIMP), I still can't get what I want. Only some of the gray pixels are colored in. Others are canceled out. Completely covered by the color, erasing some of the line.
Or some pixels remain uncolored. Just gray instead of a combination of the gray AND the fill color. What I'm looking for is an effect that looks like I placed a colored gel shaped like the cartoon character over the drawing. All the different shades of gray pixels should still be seen. Even the ones that are lighter than the fill color. With a gel, those pixels would appear darker, even though they were lighter than the fill color without the gel over them. The darkness of the color PLUS the added darkness of even the lightest gray pixels should make all the pixels appear darker. And the line would appear complete. Not partially erased.
Is it at all possible to get this effect?
When I draw a character, i cannot change line weight of fill shapes. When I do so it remains unchanged, however once I export everything is fine and okay.
This image below is how it looks. Even though it is colored.
Once I export I get this

How can I use the bucket-fill option to fill an area surrounded by a dottedline?
The dotted line is a path; so if I use a line for the dots, the bucket-fillworks.
But how can I step back after filling to change the path's line into dotsagain?
I have line art on a transparent layer. That is, it's not part of a white layer, but just black on nothing. I want to easily change that to a colour without changing the quality of the line. I know I can put a screen layer above it with a colour and that makes the black coloured, but it only shows up if I flatten it on to white. Otherwise, that's exactly the look I want, just not on a flattened white layer. I need to keep the line on the transparent layer so that I can paint under it, so I can't flatten it on to white. I also don't want to select the line and fill it as that significantly changes the quality of the line. I just want to change the colour of the line without chaning it's density, or any pixels.

As well, I want to draw multiple lines on one layer, however everytime I draw a line, i get a new layer!
I drew up a circle with no fill inside, to show where the location of my highway storm culvert will be.
I changed the thickness of the outer line of my circle shape by creating a stroke effect at layer → blending options → stroke; then I changed the thickness of the line by right clicking in stroke at the layers panel and then choosing "scale effect."
But the problem I have is that the outer line is gray, and I want it to be black.
The outer line was originally red though so I changed my image → mode to grayscale, because I couldn't find a way to change the colour while keeping my image in RGB colour. So I've managed to make the outer line gray by changing the image mode but I still can't change the colour of the outer line to black.
I'm sure there must be other ways of changing the outer line colour without having to change the image mode.
The text next to the circle says «Obra de desagüe». That's spanish for "drainage construction site."
You see, I can't change the colour because I have no clue at where the "change colour option" is. I tried going to layer → layer properties, but in there there's only 7 colours to choose from. I chose a random colour, just to see what happens and what truly changed colour was the layer, within the layers panel; not the shape contained within the layer.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm doing a very simple drawing in 2D on LT2013, I have 3 layers and therefore 3 colours of lines on the screen, red white and grey colour 8. In previous versions of LT the line colour will appear as one flat colour for every single line on that layer, regardless of whether the line is vertical or at 45 degrees or horizontal. In LT2013 it seems that only horizontal lines are displaying in this way as the correct layer colour, but vertical and 45 degree lines (incl. hatch eg ANSI32) are lighter, to the point they are white. This means I can't differentiate between lines that are on Layer 0 white and lines that are on Layer Hatch Colour 8. Is there a way to render all lines their true colour on the screen so I know what layer things are on without having to click on them?

I now want to colour parts of it in, but it only allows me to use black, white or gradients in between, how do I add colour? The document colour mode is RGB.
I have to draw a rather weird drawing with a lot of angled lines. Currently I'm using UCS to draw them but it's really tiresome.
I would draw 1 line, then type in UCS, select the X and Y axis, draw that line, escape, then hit in UCS again, rinse and repeat.
Is there a simpler way? I tried polar tracking "relative to last segment" but it still uses the x axis as the base, which is not what I want. I want the line to be the X axis.
I am currently using Architecture 2012. When I go to draw a line or an object like a wall or door I can select the colour from properties before I draw the object. The object will then come out that colour.

how can I change different colour in a assembly drawing. That means in a single drawing there is so many parts assembled I want to change the different parts in a different colour.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to change colour to a drawing with several viewports and xrefs. I suggested to my co-worker that I could fix this via plot manager, but he insists that I change all colours in the xref to one and the same, so everyone can plot it black and white and so we don't have to set up new plot styles on every computer. (we've got the drawing file from another company btw).
I've had a look and it seems like I have to do refedit to be able to edit any parts of the xref. Most of the drawing has got the same colour already, but it just say "by layer"... how do I find out what colour it is?
I'm using Autocad 2002LT and I have two different drawings to plot. I'm on Windows XP operating system with a TechJet 5536 Plotter (don't laugh it's the only one available.) One drawing is my own work and one is from a supplier they have emailed to me.
When producing a plot of my own drawing, I can easily plot monochrome, the plot style table (pen assignment) is set to monochrome.ctb.
When producing a plot of the suppliers drawing, it will only plot colour even though the plot style table (pen assignment) is set to monochrome.stb.
I can edit the monochrome.ctb colours if I wish to but I do not seem to be able to edit the colours of the monochrome.stb plot style.
I have inserted an xref but when it shows on my drawing the whole thing is shaded dark. When I look at the xref the colours are fine, until its on my drawing. I inserted it on its own layer.
Does it matter what colour I assign to that layer? I tried different colours but it changes nothing. What does that allocated colour determine?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using CS6 and the Replace Colour Tool no longer allows me to replace multiple colours when I select the + . So when I have the panel open and I highlight the +, I used to then be able to click on several spots in my image and all of the colours that are in those spots are added to the selected colours that will be changed by using the sliders.
But now, when I use the + it has exactly the same effect as not using it - I can only choose one colour or an other, I can't add.....I want to reset this to the original way that this works.
Currently I have to open the panel, change one variation of a colour, save it, then re-open the panel and do it again (and again and again) until all the colour variations I am trying to remove are are changed. I know I also have the 'fuzziness' slider, but it does not give enough control.
I have an item that I would like to depect as a line drawing (like a cad drawing).
I have it in black and white.
Is there way to convert to simple lines?
