  • Getting an opaque black on a Multiply layer

    Hello all,

    I am currently colouring some line art in Photoshop. The line art is black and white, so I have set the layer to Multiply and put it on top of the other layers. My problem is that the black remains somewhat transparent, and you can see colours underneath. Is there any way to do this and make the black completely opaque? Any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks.
