Question
Hello,
I wonder if you could help.
Is it possible to use photoshop it colour in a line drawing? Its a jpg file, black and white line cartoon that I wish to add some colour to.
Many thanks,
Mark
Hi Mark,
Yes! You can work on you JPG in Photoshop, usually what I do with this type of files is to have a layer under/above your existing layer and colorize my objects in this layer and change your brush mode to 'darken'. This will not make changes in outlines of objects but only fills out the color in the empty areas.
Try This! If you need further help fee free to ask anything further

| Comment | Thank you for your advice. The problem ended up being to few pixels. I went to Image, image size, and increased the dpi to 300 and that solved the problem.. I appreciate your response. | ||
