Hello all
I’m new to this forum, so please be gentle! I’ve been a Photoshop user since version 1.5… love it.
Anyway, I am currently working on an animation project requiring me to paint individual hand drawn & scanned frames. I’ve been using "Toon Boom" to paint the cells largely due to its ability to paint multiple frames at the same time. Basically, it allows you to use a special tool that will fill all closed areas "underneath" the area on the individual cell that you click on. So for instance, if you are trying to fill the face of a character with his flesh color, you click in the face area on one cell and any closed areas beneath it are filled with the same color. Obviously, this saves LOTS of time because you don’t need to fill every frame individually – it does a lot of the work for you providing the area you’re trying to fill doesn’t move much and lines up.
So my question is, if I have scanned an animation sequence where each frame is a different layer in a Photoshop document, is there a way to do a fill on multiple layers, emulating the effect I described above in Toon Boom? I’ve tried searching everywhere for an answer to this with no luck. Help!
Thanks!
