SUMMARY
=======
 
If you find that you are having difficulty coloring small enclosed areas of
your image, such as the small enclosed areas between the lines in a dog's
tail, try processing these images at a higher resolution.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
To increase the resolution, change the "Closest Field" value to a lower
number or work at 1K resolution instead of NTSC resolution. You don't need
to re-scan the images at a higher DPI, select a higher working resolution
value, or change your output format.
 
The following steps illustrate this method:
 
1. Scan the image in normally.
 
2. Process the image with the "Closest Field" value set to a lower number.
   This increases the number of pixels that define a given region. This
   makes the color-filling process much easier.
 
NOTE: If your "Closest Field" value is already 2 field units lower than the
normal field size, you probably don't need to change the value.
