Okay, this is an OLD tutorial I did several years back on a clean way to extract lineart to its own separate layer. I guess I never uploaded it to DA either, eh? (But I'm certain I uploaded it to Y!Gal...) Well, after looking it over I have decided to re-make it again. I never actually LIKED the lineart I used as the example and it still bugs me, lol! Anyway, I have more stuff to add so... expect a new tut in the works.
I have been using this method for years now and it works like a gem. Can even beautifully extract sketches to a new layer with no hassle. Honestly, I'm surprised more people don't use this method! You can even make this an action to save time and repetition, lol! Anyway, enjoy and hope this helps some of you out there.
In the updated tut I will most likely include the action for all to use, lol!

Lol, I agree... it is a LOT of steps. In the end I just made it into a nice little PS action. I suppose I could be seen as lazy, lol! But yeah, once it's set up, it works like a dream.
And no, yours did NOT have so many steps... @__@ have no idea why anyone would complain!
*snuggles* YUSH!!! Don't worry, when I get around to making the update I'll be sure to include it as a PS action, but I want to give everyone the opportunity to know exactly how it works first. ^_~
Oh dear... and you thought you needed the registration number to "install" them? O__O
*luffs on you sooooo much*
Okay, installing new brushes/actions/patterns/etc are pretty easy... you just copy and paste them into the proper folder where PS is installed.
Go to that folder in program files (will most likely be inside an "Adobe" folder), and look for a folder named "Presets." Inside that folder you will have all the other folders you need and they'll be named exactly what you'll want them to... such as Brushes for the installed brushes folder, lol! Anywho, just pop the files into the corresponding folders, restart PS and you're set to go. If you go in any of the folders you will see the samples PS already offers you, and you'll also see the extension each files has. (Brushes have an .abr extension.) Here's a GREAT place to go for really awesome free brushes: [link] Just take note of whether they are "royalty free" or not. They also offer patterns as well. ^__^
Go ahead and try installing a brush and let me know how it goes. You do know how to load the files in the brush setting on PS, right?
Okay. I clicked download on a delicious looking splatter set. It came in a winrar.zip file. I scrolled through program files and found the brushes folder, HOWEVER, it had another folder inside that said Adobe Photoshop only. One) What's that? Two) Should I extract the files first? Three) Was I doing it right so far? I feel REALLY stupid. REALLY.
