My first Photoshop video tutorial, primarily for coloring detailing a handy trick for taking the white out of scanned artwork in order to prepare it to be colored. Suitable for print comics as well as webcomics, this trick is just handy all around. Part of a series on coloring comics. This trick works in Photoshop CS, CS2 & CS3, for earlier versions it requires a slight modification, but it can still be done!

The webcomic I am coloring in this tutorial is called Starship Moonhawk. The finished page is here: http://www.starshipmoonhawk.com/?p=100

    Thank you for that, this was very helpful; it's right from the ground up for someone completely clueless to digital colouring. I used to physically hand-paint all my work, but it's too time-consuming - just from this 5 minutes I've picked up a million things I didn't know about photoshop that will help a lot. thank you very much ;)
