I need help!
I’m working on coloring a comic in Photoshop and I don’t understand why this is happening and what I can do to change it. Or maybe this is normal and I’m just losing my mind for no reason.
So for comic coloring, I’ve learned that you must first flat all of the colors. It’s used as a selection tool down the road so you can easily switch between sections of color using the magic wand. To flat, you make selections with the lasso tool, and fill with the paintbucket. But the point is to never leave any white so you must ‘bump up’ and select other colors.
I’ve played with settings for all of those tools and can’t figure out the differences. But after all of that I’m still getting these weird halo effects! It looks absolutely terrible and it makes it hard to do colors later on down the line.
Oh! And I’ve tried using online flatting software, which doesn’t have these effects, but for other reasons, I can’t use those programs because I spend more time editing it, and then the edits end up with these halos anyways.
