You can set the brush tool's opacity, too, so check to make sure everything is at 100%. Otherwise, you'll have to send a screenshot so I can see what you're talking about ;) Hmm… usually when that happens to me, I accidentally set the opacity of the layer to 50% or something.

The color that comes out is grey. I'd already make sure to set the color picker to black, but still it comes out grey. Any idea on what did I do wrong?

On the left at the top are three icons: the first is a square, and when you hover, it says Shape Layers. The second has a pen nib in the center and is Paths. Make sure the icon for Paths is selected. If that didn't help, you'll have to post a screenshot so I can take a look ;) With the pen tool selected, look at the toolbar at the top.

If you plan on doing any extensive redrawing of lines, then the Pen Tool is a must. If you're just doing some basic black inking, speck checking, and simple clone redraws, then you don't need the pen at all. I'm not sure what features are available in Elements and which aren't, but you could probably poke around GIMP (free image editing software) for the few things that Elements might not have. Good luck! It largely depends on what you want to clean, how well you want to clean it, and the quality of the raws.

Photoshop can be intimidating when you don't know where to start, but it really helps having a goal (like cleaning manga)! LOL glad you’re having fun!
