I always have questions after the 2000ad thrill cast with creators

Chris Blythe (colorist) said he uses flatting software to help with coloring, any know the name of the software he might be using?, or maybe his site that I might send a question?



thanks

I imagine it's the BPelt Photoshop plug-in. There are a lot of real colourists who swear by it, although when I flirted briefly with the idea of colouring professionally, I didn't find it much help.

I've found it's only helpful in certain circumstances. With really detailed linework, especially when it has crosshatching/texturing etc I tend to find that I spend more time fixing the flatting separations BPelt generates than I would just doing all the separations manually from scratch.
