Remove a color

When i draw i like to use grid paper and it has a light blue grid line. I was wondering is there is a tool or somthing on photoshop 7 ( i may get CS soon) that will remove it for me?

Have you tried 'select>colour range>' ?

Hi there, I take it you mean hand drawings, then scanned into photoshop?...if so, you're in for a long haul...you can remove the lines, but it will take time. Coupla options, as above, try the select colour range, but if the lines are as fine as I think>?....you might just be better duplicatin' the layer, then hand rubbering the lines, depending on how complex your image is. Another method uses the history palette. Bascially, you duplicate the layer, then go through Filter>Noise>Dust and Scratches....you then kinda "blur" the duplicated layer, which is retained in your history palette. If you look at the history palette, youll see both your layers as "states". You clone the blurred state onto the original state below, hmm, sounds pretty complex, its not really but you have to make sure your "targeted" state, eg, the one above, is where you "alt click with your clone tool", or you can also use the history brush itself, and your "receiving state", is the original....hey, email me if I can explain it better!... info@palegallery.com

If I can "walk you through it" on msn messenger, might be easier...
