SUMMARY
When necessary, you can set the Input parameters in Toonz to facilitate the coloration of small, enclosed areas of an image in Inknpaint.
MORE INFORMATION
It is easier to color small, enclosed areas of an image at a higher resolution. To increase image resolution, either change the Closest value in the Input parameters to a value two numbers lower than the Field value or work at 1K resolution instead of NTSC resolution. Setting the Closest value lower than the Field value increases the number of pixels that define the area of the image.
NOTE: When using this method of increased image resolution, you don’t need to re-scan the image at a higher DPI, select a higher working resolution value, or change the output format.
Complete the following steps to use this method of increased image resolution:
- Scan the image normally.
- In Input parameters, set the Closest value to a value two numbers lower than the Field value; that is, if Field=6, set Closest to 4.
- Color the image as required, including small, enclosed areas of the image.
If the Closest value for the image is already set to a number lower than the Field value, proceed directly from step 1 to step 3.
Color filling becomes easier as the number of pixels increases. However, as the number of pixels increases, both the size of the image and the amount of processing time required for the image also increase.
If the final output of the image is destined for 35mm film (2K resolution or greater), it is unnecessary to color minute areas such as those described here as they will not be visible in the final output.
