Ahhh. Your Trinity Blood icons are amazing. Definitely going to use a few of them.

Also, this may sound like a strange question, but--

I've always had issues when it comes to cleaning TB scans. Would you be able to give me any pointers on making the process any easier? Or, perhaps, point me in the direction of some more 'high quality' scans?

Some I just give up on or live with the gritty quality >>; But I can tell you the trick I was given that sometimes helps! :) I used PS7 too, so it might have to be adjusted if you use something else?

I started out with this image.

1. Desaturate. And you get see all the icky gritty... I started to try to just colour everything white, but I got annoyed with that... XD

2. I then duplicate the layer and paint the bottom layer white (or any colour you want?)

3. Then open up the channels panel under window. Click the circle thing (load channel as selection)

4. Everything is selected so just click delete on the keyboard.

5. Then you get this

6. I think found that a bit too light, so I just duplicate that layer and multiply the top layer for the finished product.

(Don't know that that makes sense or if I simplified it too much XD) But that is what I do.

Oh man. You have no idea how much that helps. I use CS2 but it was the same process you explained to get your end result.

Ahhh, thank you so much for your help. ;a; That will make coloring 3849789 times less frustrating than messing with the levels all the time.
