heylo, thank you for the answers. yesterday I tried paintbucketing the empty space and realised there was a tolerance bar. so i just slid it and i got what i wanted! I'll also try out other methods posted here and see what works best... thanks again! edit: those plugins are really cool. they'll allow me to make really artistic monsters..

ok i tried that but it just gives my scan a bluish hue. umm lets say is there a way to make pixels that are incredibly similar to each other a single color? Like making whitish pixels absolute white. that way i can trace around the outline my picture but leave the non-empty space intact.

Hey-lo sry for being a n00btard but I want to make video game sprites from paper I draw on (with pencil) I did this once to animate a ~100x120 dragon and it took a LONG time using Microsoft Paint to manually outline. Can someone show me a way to get the program to do this for me? I intend to leave the sprites grey-scale because my drawings have tiny details (like chains) but all I want is to edit the picture enough so that empty space is uniformly white and I can paint the empty space red or something. I'm making a game with these sprites but I can't/don't like to draw on the computer.
