文档介绍:FARP : Cleaning Scans In Photoshop: 1

Being a mod, I see an awful lot of pictures. A lot are poorly cropped, or on lined paper (which
is "illegal" in Elfwood), or incredibly pale, or smudged, or whatever. And it's annoying,
because these problems can easily be fixed with 10 minutes and puter program. As I
have photoshop, that is what I will talk about. The method I use for removing the lines won't
work with coloured pictures or delicately shaded pictures, but you shouldn't be colouring or
shading pictures on lined paper anyways. It'll work for blue ballpoint if you're careful.
Change is good.
This is step one. I scanned a dragon I whipped up. Poor cropping. On lined paper. Smudged.
This picture would get rejected instantly by the mods, and for good reason. The presentation
is awful, and totally unprofessional.
So, we obviously have to fix it up real good. But the thing is, how?
First off, open up photoshop. This is what we'll be working with.
After photoshop is open, look for the crop tool, handily outlined in blue here. The first thing
we're gonna do is trim the borders of this picture down to size.
So what you do is take the tool, start in one corner, and drag a box around the image. I
usually start in the top left, but it's a personal choice. If you do it right, you should end up
with a box around the main image, with everything outside of it shaded a darker grey. If you
miss, and need to adjust the box, just click on the little boxes like the one the arrow is
pointing at and readjust the box to fit. Then hit enter.
Aaaand, voila! The dragon, while still on lined paper and smuded and pale, is at least not
surrounded by useless floating white space. Now lets get those blasted lines out of there!

Next, we will remove the lines. This is my favorite step because pi
