Reg-to inks

Inking and painting regged drawings

Reg-to inks

The inks you use to paint reg-to lines are called reg-off, reg-over, and reg-under:

Reg-off lines always remain with their own drawing, and are composited immediately above its paint layer.

Reg-over and reg-under lines are moved upwards, so they appear with the topmost drawing involved in the regging.

: Normally, a reg drawing is ordered above its reg-to drawing(s), which means that:

Any reg-over lines are composited above the reg drawing's ink layer - and its composite effects, if it has any - in the same order as the reg-to drawings from which they came.

Any reg-under lines are composited beneath the reg drawing's ink layer, in the same order as the reg-to drawings from which they came.

: However, should a reg-to drawing be above all its reg drawings, all the reg-to lines remain with the reg-to drawing, and are composited immediately above its paint layer.

When you're inking a reg-to layer, these regging inks appear in the palette. They replace the unpainted, transparent and original trace wells - which you can't use for reg-to drawings. The opaque well remains, so you can recolor reg-to lines when you're creating a matte from a regged drawing.
