Vinny, I've tried a number of ways, but here is the process I am using: - Copy the image from the JBF - Open it in Photoshop - Change the dots per inch to 300 - Copy the 300dpi image and paste it into a new layer of a "standard" 11x17 comic page with full bleed lines - Scale up the image to match where JB indicates the full bleed on the page - Save a JPG of the pencil image so you can print it for reference
- Adjust the curves and/or levels to make pencils darker - Paste the darkened pencils into the CYAN channel of a CMYK 11"x17" file to make the pencils into "blue line" JPG
I adjust the opacity of the overall file so the blue color isn't over powering. Also, as I get more confident with my inking I am able to reduce the opacity lower and lower. Right now I like 20%-25% opacity of the blue line file. Then I go to the local office supply, load some 300 series Strathmore Bristol board into their color printer and print away. Send me an email and I will send you the JPG files for a page as examples.
