I can't seem to find a solution for this anywhere, so maybe someone here can help.
I have scanned my fineliner drawing directly from Photoshop (my usual scanner driver wasn't giving me good enough results and I was unable to get the monochrome effect I wanted).
Now, I have managed to get my illustration monochrome, for the most part (I need to polish it up a bit), but two things are happening: the edges of my lines are looking rough, sort of jagged (bare in mind I draw wonky on purpose, but not wanting this 'jagged' look), and when I zoom in, my image is becoming pixelated very quickly (more quickly than when I used the other scanner driver). Should I worry about this pixelation? Any ideas on how to get rid of the jagged edges would be great. I did notice when looking at the original scan, that perhaps because of the paper I used (?) the edges of my lines are slightly feathered, and perhaps that's why when I altered the brightness and contrast, and adjusted the levels, the image as turned out this way. I have tried all the sharpness filters too but they didn't do anything.
I posted about other issues I had been having in another post a few weeks ago, and I am just really lost. I have done this process some years ago and had no issue achieving the results I wanted, I just altered the brightness and contrast. Those images were drawn in the same style as this one with the same type of fineliner and probably on cheaper paper.
