Photoshop :: Coloring Scanned Images
Jan 6, 2005
I have been photoshopping (Photoshop 7) for the past 9 months, and I'm fairly comfortable with the program. I use it mostly for art and drawing.
However, recently, I've run into a bit of a problem. You see, up until a month ago, I would scan a penciled drawing of mine in, add a layer over it, and trace it with the brush. It worked pretty well, never gave me any trouble accept for the large amounts of time it would take to trace everything with a mouse.
So, about a month ago I was looking for coloring tips, and I found that most people ink their drawings, scan them in, and somehow color it. I thought I had the answers, but I didn't.
I scanned an inked picture at 300 dpi with my Canon scanner (I don't know the exact model, but it was cheap, and I got what I paid for). I brought it into PS, and I tried using the magic wand tool (with a tolerance of 175) to pick up all the black ink.

my girlfriend's birthday is coming up, and I wanted to do something a little bit different. She's a great artist, and she's drawn a lot of pictures of us together. She's so busy though, that she never has time to finish the drawing completely, so she can't get around to coloring it. I was wondering if you guys could point in the right direction of how to color scanned black and white drawings?

I'm trying to get myself a little better with digital art, but still not too comfortable with the idea of doing the initial drawing without pen and paper. The only downside is that I can't really get those crisp colors with just pencil colors.
how do I go about setting things up to where I can color in a scanned, non-colored inked page, but without worrying about overlapping my inks and making it look messy in general. I imagine it would have something to do with copying and pasting new layers, but I just can't get a handle on what I'm supposed to do. I also know about messing with opacity to let outlines show through, but there's still the issue of color dulling the black when it overlaps.

Ok so as of right now, I have an image with a Black background color with a blurred and vectored White design over it. I want to change the White design into another color. When I use the bucket tool to fill in the white design with say.. Blue, some of the design becomes blocky blue and loses some of its edges.
When I use the "color" brush, the edges and interior part of the White design are colored in blue fine, but I end up coloring over the edges because the design isn't selected with the lasso tool or Marque tool. And even if I selected the design with the previous mentioned tools, the edges would be cut off, leaving me with a colored interior of blue, and some exterior white on the design. So I'm wondering how I would color my design, as if it were originally that chosen color.

After scanning a image that has a mostly white background, and opening it in Photoshop CC that portions of the edges had pinkish tones that was quite noticible. I tried to use the replace color from the "Image->adgustments" menu but found that affected small portions of the image as well.
How do I correct this so the background is white? Is there a correction filter for scanners like there is for cameras?

I am on a Mac OS 10.5.8 with Adobe CS2, Acrobat 7.0 Professional, and Illustrator and Bridge.
I have a bunch of print-outs of old documents that came from a microfilm copy. I need to include them in a report, so I need to scan them in. I have tinkered with various settings (100 dpi - 300 dpi) and of course I would like to keep them small sized. At 300, one came in at 10 MB which is absurd.
My second problem is that part of the print-outs are really difficult to read--it's usually one section that has a lot of mid-tones. I can use levels and curves somewhat, but they seem to affect the whole document.

I recently migrated from Windowx XP (32 bit) to Windows 7 (64bit). On the xp computer, I installed the driver for my epson V500 photo scanner, and when go to File--> Import, there is an option to import via espon scanner. However, in Window 7, with Photoshop CS4 64 bit installed, the installed scanner does not show up on the import menu.
I don't know how to get it to see the scanner as it does on my XP machine. I tried copying the photoshop plugins/import-export folder from the xp machine to photoshop (64)/plugind/import-export folder, but that didn't make a difference.
I really need the scanner to be visible inside photoshop.

I am trying to scan some kids artwork and import into photoshop - I can do that bit!
Then I want to crop the image so that it is around the edge of the actual picture. That is - I dont want a butterfly shape (for example) with a white box around it.
I want to paste the images onto a background colour and don't want the white square around the shape on the background!
know if I can save the image like that in photoshop!

I often scan b/w documents with my scanner to Photoshop. The scan always has spots (noise) which are time consuming to remove. I'm basically zooming in and erasing each one.
Does anyone know of any easy time saving steps/procedures I could use to remove these spots?

I have scanned in a document and need to change it to digital art. Since I haven't been able to find a suitable font to match it exactly, I am thinking I'll have to do it by hand.
A sample of the text is below. Should I use the pen tool for this? Or some other tool? I would be glad if you could point me in the right direction. As you can see, the document's blurry so I can't just use a marquee.

I'm relatively new to photoshop and I have been searching for a simple answer to this question.
I'm working with images scanned from 35mm transparency film and black and white negatives. The average size when opened in photoshop is .88inches width x 1.297inches height at 2000 pixels/inch. I'll be putting these images on the web as well as printing some.
My question is:
Can I work with them as-is in photoshop and change the size later (for web, printing etc) or is there some general size I should change them too prior to working on them in photoshop CS5 extended?

After upgrading to3.5, my scanned images from negatives (tiff dng files created in Vuescan 9) crash the program as soon as I make an adjustment in the lens corrections panel. This was not an issue before I upgraded from 3.4.1. Worse, the scanned images that I edited with the lens corrections panel before upgrading crash the program as soon as I try to bring them into the develop module.

I have scanned something in OS X Mavericks (10.9.0) using my Canon PIXMA MP280 and am attempting to add it to my main Lightroom catalog (LR 5.2) but am having issues. I have tried the following formats with the noted results:
.TIFF - Lightroom throws error "The file appears to be unsupported or damaged. (1)" .JPG - Lightroom does not show the file in the import dialog, thus does not even attempt to import it. .PNG - Imports ok.
The .TIFF and .JPG formats seem compeltely intact as they open without any issues in OS X Preview and Pixelmator.

4705.sample2.tifOur customers have given us some black and white .tif Monochrome Bitmap images at 400 ppi (see attached sample) and 600 ppi of some scanned black and white engineering drawings. Some of the small text on the drawings is not very legible because open areas are filled in with black. Some of the vertical and horizontal lines are ragged (digitized) on the edges. Is there any way that I can improve the visual quality of these Monochrome Bitmap images in Corel Draw (which I use) or Corel Paint (of which I'm not very knowledgeable, or adept)?

I'm working on a job that requires recreating vintage box artwork. This involves recomposing scanned images into a new layout, recreating text from matched fonts - that sort of thing. Unfortunately, some of the scanned images (originally printed offset press in cmyk) were printed with one or more of the plates out of register, creating a halo effect on one side. Can this be corrected in PhotoPaint? Is there a way to create each channel as an object which could be moved to realign the colors and then flattened again?

Is the image trace feature any better at tracing scanned business cars and newsprint ads in order to extract a logo? Clients never seem to have clean copy to supply me with.

I've got a black and white photo and a paragraph of text in a layer over the photo.
The text is currently black, but of course when it hits the sections of the photo that are black, you can't see the text. So, I need to get the text to switch to being white at those point. I know I could probably just go in a change it at the proper points, but I don't wanna do that! It's a lot of text and it's a script font so parts of the letter fall at different points in the picture. We thought using the exclusion layer style would work, but it doesn't. Anybody have any suggestions?
