i'm working on my first vexel, but i'm stuck on what to do with the "borders" between two different objects, like this: (zoomed in)



where there's all the funky colors and stuff. i already have a copy of the original smart blurred image on top of the posterized image, set to color, to reduce the awkward colors.

any tips?

I like to introduce a third layer, a grayscale layer, while vexelling. Sometimes it's difficult to see the differences in darkness between two colours, so setting the entire image to grayscale simplifies a lot. Now you're just worrying about one shade of a colour (no colour at all!).

Also, I'd suggest looking at the entire image as a whole instead of focusing on little pixels to determine how you would move on.

^thanks for the tips. this is my first vexel so i'm really kind of unsure.

the posted image is the border between skin and clothes. and i'm using Photoshop CS2.

this is the image i'm doing. i'm completely scared on the borders. _unsure.gif
