Give me a character, and I will tell you what crowning moment of awesome I would love to see from them. (This may be a emotional and not a physical fight.)

Amusement for this morning.

Funny interview:

Alan Tudyk: "You did this thing called Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog...on the interwebs..."
Nathan Fillion: "Yes, yes I did."
Alan Tudyk: "My question is...Why wasn't I in it?"

art help? Transparency and Adobe Photoshop.

I still haven't figured out how to take a black and white line drawing on white in Adobe Photoshop and convert the white to transparency, with the gray "transition" pixels in between turning into degrees of black opacity instead of degrees of gray.

If I try select color range or the magic wand, I always have that gray line in between. And if I "contract" the selection back to the pure black, I lose detail.

Likewise, I can't figure how to turn it totally black and white without having the black get all thick and fuzzy, losing the finer lines.

I have this nice line art that I would love to make into a transparent layer, but the white background is killing me and I could do with advice.
