I'm running Photoshop 7 on windows xp sp3 and I'm having some weird problems with it.
I'm trying to clean up and color my line art which I scan @ 300 dpi in RGB color and open with photoshop. After I desaturate and clean up the image using the curves adjustment, I duplicate the background layer and then delete the original. Now I go to the channels palette and ctrl+click on one of the color channels and then ctrl+shift+i to invert the selection. Then I open a new layer and that is where the problems begin. When I try to use the paint bucket to fill the selection, the fill is semi-transparent and also bleeds outside of the selected area. Instead of being a solid black, its solid in the middle of the selection and gets more transparent the closer to the edge it gets and there are also gray pixels mixed in with it. It shouldn't do that. Also, no matter what I try, there are always stray semi-transparent gray pixels strewn about the new layers. They aren't evident until I do something with the new layer like fill it with a solid color etc. They also show up extensively around the lines. The final problem I have is after I finish, resize, and convert my image to jpeg, I'll notice that there are stray pixels around all the lines, separating the actual lineart from the colored portions. I never had these problems in the past, so I don't know if I'm just forgetting something crucial, or if there is actually a problem with my software and or computer. Please help!!!!!!
