Umm....between Polygonal Lasso Tool & Pen Tool. It's better to use pen tool since u can edit or remove it anytime u one. If u use P.Lasso, it's a bit hard to edit it back after u make mistake & deselect....you have to trace it all over again. Plus Pen tool can trace more nicer rather than P.Lasso. U can try c the diffrent if u try to compare using both tools. Just sharing my opinion. Umm….between Polygonal Lasso Tool & Pen Tool.

I have CS, so I don't have a fill tool, but the next time I'm on CS2 I will definitely take a look at your method. However, if you're already selecting the area to be modified, and it's going to be black or white, then can't you just crank on the levels? I guess the key is making sure your selection is perfect... For Bleach, we usually save as png with 24 colors, but I worry that some of the other series I work on have too many gray tones. I don't think I have a posterize filter, either. I have Posterize Edges - is that what you mean? What settings do you use for it? Thanks for the tips ;) Hmmm… I have CS, so I don’t have a fill tool, but the next time I’m on CS2 I will definitely take a look at your method.

You can use rectangle, ellipse, or lasso selection to restrict the field to prevent your fill from running over into areas you want to protect. This is a compromise from actually outlining just the area you want to fill. It usually works for me, though I often have to make several re-tries, adjusting the color range up and down (from the exact color I'm filling with) A really quick-and-dirty cleaning method is simply to posterize the whole page. If there is little or no shading, reducing a grayscan to between 5 and 16 colors will produce a nice-looking picture with enough tones to make the anti-aliasing work. Where it won't work is with a really bad scan, or with a page with a lot of subtle shading; posterizing will get something that looks like a contour-map--which can be a cool effect, but probably is not what you want for a scanlation.
