    A photoshop Artist writes about creating cartoon characters and says that his technique is done out and then in photoshop. He is using a lightbox to transfer his drawings from one piece of paper to another. His other instructions are Photoshop CS2 and are understood by me. But what is a lightbox?

    A lightbox is a physical box that backlights teh paper when drawing… you can find them in Art stores

    It is a backlighting device of some sort for tracing ease. If you are doing multiple frames you can buy a registration bar and the paper will line up every time… Oh yeah, you need the paper punched too.

    I’m Confused again…Thanks for your suggestions.
