i've opened up a image of line art that my friend did and i want to color it but every time i try to select something it selects everything. i know i can draw was i want to be selected and i don't wanna trace over the drawing. can you tell me what i'm doing wrong?

Most likely your friend didn't close the line art line :/
You'll have to set the layer to multiply
Then create a new layer on top (normal) and color this way (it takes longer)
If your friend is okay with it, you can edit the line art to make sure it's "closed"

the lines are closed though and i tried that still doesn't work. i guess i'm just gonna have to re do it or color in what i want selected which sucks either way >.<

H-How do you use textures in PS??? I've never been able to find them QnQ
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Do you mean find the textures themselves or apply them?
I look for the textures online then save them.
