Fill by line art with perfect edges on a B&W image or vice-versa - PixLab - 07-13-2024
No method is wrong, but some time I see convoluted methods to bucket fill with line art detection when there is a BackGround, where it can be extremely simple to bucket fill with line art detection and get perfect edges even with a BG.
Thus I'll show you one simple way without deleting any BackGround, no selection, no mode change in your tool settings.
GIMP has a layer mode in which we are interested, it's the Multiply mode for white BG or its opposite Screen mode for black BG
Get you image in GIMP, then:
- Create a new white layer (if the BG is white), and put it at the bottom
- Create a transparent layer above the white layer
- Put the top layer (original image) in Multiply mode (Screen mode for black BG)
- Bucket fill by line art the transparent layer
