4. Technical Presentation

Matthew Thorne	Title : Flattening Comics Abstract: "Flatting" is a common first step when digitally colouring comics which can be a tedious, manual process. Today, I will briefly describe how flatting is done and discuss some work-in-progress whose goal is to reduce much of the tedium of the flatting process.
