ivona Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Hi, I work a lot with free hand drawings. They are drawn in black and white, basically black lines on white paper. I scan them with 300 dpi and then work on them in Paint.net. The one thing I cannot figure out is how to make the outlines a full line. A lot of times, the line will be patchy despite the 300 dpi. Am I missing something obvious or is the only way to do it to try and "redraw" it using paintbrsuh tool? Thanks, Ivona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Can you post an example scanned drawing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivona Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 I don't have my flash with me so this it the best example I can manage right now. See how the bottom lines under the "flowers" are going in and out? True, this is a reduced image but the original has the same effect. I will post a black and white example tonight Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 If you're having trouble releasing your drawing from the background , then Isolate Lineart might be worth a look. Another plugin that works in much the same way is Black and Alpha+. Once you have the lines on their own layer it should be easier to work with them.

ivona Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 Sorry for not posting sooner, things have been hectic. In playing with my scan settings a little more, I figured out how to sharpen the lines additionaly..... they still need corrections in Paint but not as much.... lot of eraser and brush tools on a new layer thanks everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
