is it possible to use the paint bucket tool to actually fill in white spaces? i've been trying and trying but it'll only fill colored areas.
so far i've been going over my scanned images by just using the paintbrush and it's taking hours to finish just one picture.
i've tried 'Help' but it doesn't...well help.
help? |

Well if you have your image traced and all the lines how you want them and all you want to do is fill in color I would suggest opening up Photoshop.
Just select the image you want to color, copy it. Go into Photoshop and paste it. It will bring up some options > convert to pixels. hen just use the paint bucket in there to color it. If you want hi-res for printing be sure to open your psd with at least 300dpi.
Hope that helped. |

| actually just before i read that, i was thinking of importing it into a different program. but if i want to send my work to someone to do some screen printing, doesn't it need to be vector art in illustrator? or does it matter what program i use as long as it's at least 300 dpi? |

| Esencially, the only reason printers want it in vector is to assure that it will not be pixelated. Vector is also good for resizing, but if you have your .tif or .jpeg at a large enough size there won't be any problem. 300dpi is standard for printing. It doesnt matter what program you use a pixel is a pixel. |
