Any of you who know your way around Photoshop/Paint Shop Pro... if I want to take drawing A and overlay it over background B, what do I have to do to get rid of that annoying thin white line around the silhouette? Short of retouching ever single pixel, I mean.

I varied the tolerance when I cut it out of the white background, but I cannot get rid of the damned line. Any ideas? (I've done _very_ little previous work with these kind of programmes. As you may have guessed. Ahem.)

Hmm, don't know how I got here. Just clicking through various friends. Anyway, about the white edges, in Photoshop you can do something called "defringing." Select the layer with the cut-out image, go to layers > matting > defringe. A pop-up box will let you select the number of pixels around the image to get rid of. There may be a stray pixel you might have to manually erase, but it usually works really well.

Great drawings, btw. I don't anything about drawing for comics, but these look fantastic.

Oh, thanks a lot. That sounds fairly easy; I'll definitely give it a try when I check out the program.

You know you spend too much time on LiveJournal when you read that as "defriending" at first...
