Magic Wand
|
|
|
Here's Audrey with a bad case of "Red Eye". After zooming in on the area
I wanted to work on, I used the "Magic Wand" to select her eyes. I wanted
to have only part of the eye selected so I adjusted the tolerance to 24,
allowing several shades of color to be included.
|
|
|
Next I used "Color | Adjust | Red/Green/Blue", and set Red
-71, Green -50 and Blue -10. Doing this allows "re-mixing" of the colors
so Audrey's eyes are now a more natural color. Next I used the "Magic
Wand" again to select the "whites" of Audrey's eyes. Using the
"Fill" tool set at "Sunburst" with just the right shades of gray I was able to
help Audrey's eyes have even a more natural look.

Clone Brush
|
|
|
I started with the image to the left. The first thing I did was to crop
off some of the unnecessary space at the top of the image.
|
|
|
Then, I used the "Clone" brush to cover the sun spot on the carpet near the
left side of the blanket and the unwanted parts of the background.

Deformations
|
|
This is my original image
~Old Faithful Geyser~
|
|
|
For the wind blown effect I used the "Wind" deformation with the strength set
at 20 from the right
|
|
For this deformation I used Perspective-Vertical Difference
set at - 100%
|
|
|
|
|
|
Native Paint Shop Pro Filters
|
|
Using the original image of Old Faithful, I applied several of the built in
filters.
What looks like someone threw a handful of confetti in front of the camera
lense is actually the Noise filter set at 31% Random
|
|
|
This effect of what I see when looking at Old Faithful without my glasses, was
achieved using the Gaussian Blur filter set at 3.5
|
|
|
I call this one "Geyser Cubed" which is actually the Mosaic filter set at Block
Height and Width 10

The Home Page button was made on a Buttonized image with a Filled Cutout
section. Then Text was applied also with a Cutout and Drop Shadow.

The Email button was made on the same Buttonized image using the Chisel
effect on the Text. The Text also has a Drop Shadow effect, first
using positive numbers for the horizontal and vertical settings, then a
negitive number.

The Home button was made, again, with the same Buttonized image and with
Cutout and Drop Shadowed Non-Filled Text.
