Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Greetings, everybody.

I have a question.
I used Luma Keyer to remove white color.
Please refer to the following picture.-the original image and the image used luma keyer
But, It is not what I wanted. The border is not clear and messy.
I know the Power Retouche Pro plugin for photoshop. This plugin can remove anti-alias.
I'd like the clear border. Because I work many images, I want to remove white color(anti-alias) at a time.
Please tell me, How to simply remove...

Try "Scan Cleaner" under "Color" in FX stack.

Scan Cleaner remove other colors. I only want to remove white color (anti-alias)

Hi Arche,
something must be wrong in your workflow, you shouldn't get this "white" antialias border
when working in the right way ...
can you tell us more about your process exactly ?
do you work in tvpa from scanned drawings ?
do you paint (color-fill) on a separate layer, other than the lines's one ?

anyway, during all your WIP, I would strongly recommend you to keep outlines and colors on different layers.

Hi~ ZigOtto

I understand you, as I have used a photoshop

TVPaint is a good program to create a 2D animation.
But, It's a pity there are no drawing function of correction like Adobe Flash.
My drawing line is zigzag. I want for line compensation function.
So I am using a Demo Verson Software(not Flash) , This software is a good for drawing and painting in 2D cell animation. (like Animo)
But It can't export due to demo verson. I capture a most big screen using caputer utility.
Alpha isn't in captured image. So I want to remove a white color (anti-alias next to border line)

OK I see, so, in your case, you can follow these steps :
- draw in your "vector-drawing" demo software (black lines on white BG),
- capture all your frames (.jpg or .png sequence) and import the sequence in tvpa,
- select all frames and Apply the Scan-Cleaner FX,
- hit the button, [Cl] button from the Instance Panel (= Clone Layer), and rename this new created layer "Color",
- fill with the apropriated colors by using the floodfill tool
(Source= Front, Fill = Density, Expend = 1, Smooth = 2, Range = 100)
Smooth, Expend, Gap-Closer and Range values could be tweaked differently depending on your drawing's lines (open or not, thickness, opacity, ...)
once finished the coloring process, playback the animation (at low frame-rate) to check everything is OK,
paint the missing pixels here and there (confined in sharp angle area f.i.), then you can merge the 2 layers,
(or better, select them, duplicate the selected layers, merge selected layers, and hide the 2 originals,
so you will keep a back-up of your pre-merge work.

Thank you...a detailed explanation.
But Idon't what I wanted. I'm so sorry.
I paint in demo software. Because The software can paint too easily.

for example,
* Automatic Color Trace
* Paint overflow Detection and close fill function - This function is in TVPaint. but this is much better than the TVPaint.
* Paint with light table color function - like auto pick color of the TVPaint
and so on...

so I take advantage of this software.

anyway, Thank you again for your interest in me.

OK, in that case, Importing already colored image on white BG, still remains a "2 steps FX" solution :
duplicate your AnimLayer (= sequence of your drawings),
- on the bottom one, apply a ScanCleaner FX,
- on the upper one, apply a CrossKeyer + AlphaControl FXs
then you can merge the 2 layers in one.

ps: save your FX bin for a later re-use, if needed .
