Photoshop lineart action RGB

If you color in CMYK then use the version found here: [link]

Here's a little time saver for coloring lineart. This is an action I made for Photoshop a couple of years ago after ~albonia suggested it to me. It will set up inked lineart for RGB coloring in layers with a 240% black.

Top layer will be yer lineart layer with C: 60 M: 40: Y: 40 K: 100 set to multiply (some people use darken instead of multiply)

Second layer will be yer traps layer with C: 60 M: 40: Y: 40 K: 0

Simply download into Photoshop> Presets> Photoshop Actions

Now open yer inked lineart in PS, do your level/contrast adjustments if needed, open your actions window (alt + f9), load the Lineart action, then press the little play button.

Simply color on any layer under the trap layer.

Made this in CS2, but it should work for older versions of Photoshop. Not guaranteeing that it will though

For the record, I color in CMYK when I'm coloring for print. I'm not sure how well the 240 blacks will hold up for print when you convert your final image from RGB to CMYK. There will probably be a small shift in the ink value, but it will probably be pretty much unnoticeable.
