I have been messing around with this program for a day now and I'm understanding some of it but I am wondering if there is an easier way.
Here is what I'm doing (or trying to do): I have line drawings in jpeg format that I am using for T-Shirts. Actually, the jpegs are the original formats as I have them converted to eps files now. Anyway...I am trying to take these jpegs and submit them to a print fulfillment company as png files. Here is the problem, I need to have only the lines and remove the background. Obviously, when I open the file, the whole thing comes in as a background. So I select the magic wand, mess around with some settings, go through picking every line, create new layer, and now I have all these outlines on the new layer. Next step I use paint bucket to fill in the outlines but it doesn't always fill them in solid. So, I try brush but I can't get that to actually do anything on either layer.
So what I'm asking...
1) Is there a more simple and accurate way to remove the background?
2) Why can't I get the paint brush to work?
Thanks
