sorry for two posts in a row-- this time i'm asking for tips.
isolating and cleaning up lineart has always been very frustrating for me. I've mostly got a way of doing it-- i trance a sketch on semitransparent velum or rag marker paper, scan it in, play with the levels and try not to make the lines so thick, select everything outside the parts where i'm going to colour, inverse selection, expand by two, and fill tool to get the thick outer outlines.
However, i have this problem.
and also the same sort of thing, but on the very edges of the lineart-- like on the dark court vella crean template if you put it on a black background. [i've mostly fixed the other templates].
IS there a way to get around that? those stupid, annoying little white dreglines? Or do you have to tediously go back over it with the bloody pencil tool to get rid of them? -bites at them- sofrustrating!
but yeah. help? suggestions?

I have CS, but this isn't a new feature, so it should still work.
Okay, I purposefully botched up one of my templates for you to get that white haze. Lineart on a single layer, dark background color so the haze shows.
Quick way to fix that is to apply a "Stroke" layer style to the lineart. Black, 1 pixel, inside. Seen here.
Most of the time that'll still leave some tiny white spots between the lineart and Stroke here and there (for example, between the claws on the top of the near wing) but those are MUCH easier to go in and black out than having to trace the outside of the entire template.

I usually just set mine pictures to grayscale before leveling, then black and white afterwards to clean it up.
