= SUMMARY =

If you find that you are having difficulty coloring small enclosed areas of your image, such as the small enclosed areas between the lines in a dog’s tail, try processing these images at a higher resolution.

= MORE INFORMATION =

To increase the resolution, change the “Closest Field” value to a lower number or work at 1K resolution instead of NTSC resolution. You don’t need to re-scan the images at a higher DPI, select a higher working resolution value, or change your output format.

The following steps illustrate this method:


 * 1) Scan the image in normally.
 * 2) Process the image with the “Closest Field” value set to a lower number. This increases the number of pixels that define a given region. This makes the color-filling process much easier.

NOTE: If your “Closest Field” value is already 2 field units lower than the normal field size, you probably don’t need to change the value.
