Paint Shop Pro Talk

Maybe, she wasn't trying to feed them

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

This is "The Cameraman", a picture taken in a small town in Africa, the children were not sure they liked having their picture taken, according to the photographer. They ended up having fun with it, though.

I cropped a big picture, sharpened it, then put relief on it too.
Had to re-colorized it then - put a soft blur on it, with a simple border.

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

It was hard to see their faces before, relief brought them out a little, but not really liking the end result.

Any suggestions?

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

I used a fractal, called Fairy's Hollow, as the background for this, "Little Girl Dreams".

The Navajo child is a tube that I ended up erasing the background, then pasting, my picture tube factory is down, I guess?

After trying different things, I decided to use the quad mirror in PhotoFiltre.

I added relief to bring up the features, then blurred it.

That's all!

I finally got rid of some of the tubes in the prog that I never use, but now I can't seem to get any new ones in? Help!!

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Well........it was hard to try and make this look OK. This is actually right outside our computer window.....and it was taken thro the screen. It looks soooo much funnier than the picture shows. Yea, I know, I need to paint.. ......sure someday

That poor Momma Bird!! Kids these days, huh?

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

This is a little better! Resized and not so see through
Now I'm off to practice zig zagging the freehand tool. Wish me luck! Is there a way to just draw the lines with the freehand tool? Instead of having to click click click, lol ?

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

LOL! BBoss, you don't need to paint?!? There is a way to make that a little clearer, it's was in the thread back aways.......at first I thought you were saying the bird wasn IN your computer screen! LOL! (Must have been thinking of BJ's hair 'friends'.)

I am gonna snag that pic and see if I can figure something out....don't hold your breath tho!

Sonya!! That looks soo good! Like a professional job! You should be real proud of yourself!! I bet your daughter loves it, right?


Marja

OH! about the freehand tool, that's the only way I know how to do it too?!?! I never read any different way, maybe someone can tell us.

Also, Uguel, I don't 'get' why you cut zig-zags in that pony? What does it do? Thanks!

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Thank you so much Marja Yes, my daughter was like" dude, I love that, it is sooo cool" lololol I hate when she does that "dude" thing, hahaha She likes this city one too

Ok everyone, I think this can count as a baby theme, lol because she is my baby Anyway, I am making these for my mom. She has been griping at me all week about making some pics to frame & put on the wall for family that's comming in a week to visit. I have to work on my youngest daughter next.
This is pretty much just copy n paste, and use of the deform tool. And the opacity? <--is that what it's called? opacity?

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Ok, last one of Erica. I just learned to hold the CTRL key and drag the corners, while in deform tool, and it does 3D sort of effect. But you knew that already.

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

They all look great, Sonya! Your mom will be happy!

I like the city one too, well ok like all of them! LOL!

So, on to the next daughter or son?


Good work, Sonya!

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

No, we can use other tools instead of the freehand tool. You can use either the ellipse or circle tool with the feather set between 20 to 28 approx. depending on how close the subject is to the border. Of course, the other tools can be used too, like the rectangle, square... pentagon but usually the circle or the ellipse tools are the ones that I like best because the rendering is more natural.


Why did I use the zig zag? because the borders look less sharp. I could have
drawn an oval with the selection tool and taken ellipse as the selection type and set the feather to 20. It is just that the borders look just a little bit more defined but not very much. Look at the picture to compare the different selection tools I took when I cut the flower.

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Wow Sonya! this one is very pretty.
I've almost never used the deform tool
...so you know better than I about it!

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Here ya go........I'm post'in you a copy of the pic before I started goof'in with it. No big deal to me.......but, you have fun!! Tried tak'in the picture outside.....but, I guess I don't look much like a tree http://img115.exs.cx/img115/9916/z4dwink.gif

Sonya!! My goodness, your pictures or really good!! They DO look very professional!! I'm very impressed!!

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

LOL! ARE YOU SURE THAT'S A BABY? HE LOOKS HUGE NOW! LOL! DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO ANYTHING WITH IT, BBOSS, BUT THERE IS SOMETHING IN THIS BOOK I GOT THAT SAYS THERE IS A WAY, SO WE WILL SEE, HUH?

SHE SHOULD KICK THAT ONE OUT! HE'S BIGGER THAN HER! LOL!

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Actually, I think that there are 2 babies in the pic, aren't there?

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Yea, you are right, one of the heads kinda blended into the woodwork there, Uguel!

Still, they look awful bossy! LOL!

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

lol, right, they should be on their own soon.
Our friend Blair... I used Auto FX Software filter, and chose "dreamy"
from the predefinitions menu. The frame was made with Adrenaline,
the colour preset was woodland. Adrenaline and Auto Fx Software
are both free filters!

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

...I tried adding a 3D effect to a tube tonight
first, I open a tube and pasted it in a transparent picture...

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

...then I pasted the tube on a black image (it can be any colour)
black was my choice and once it was pasted, I applied these settings...
See screenshot.

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

...and then I got this....
If you want less shadow than that, you must reduce the depth.
You will have less shadow but also less 3D effect.

the tube on the top of the picture one has no effect in it
and the second has the effect applied in it.

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

LOL!!!

You gals are funny!!
Actually, I think there are 3 little big guys in there!!
(That's why Steve and I stopped at 2 kiddos!!http://img115.exs.cx/img115/9916/z4dwink.gif)

Gosh, your enjoy'in them so much....I'll post ya somemore terrible pictures of them! LOL
Marja, I don't care what you do with them....if anything.
Remember, I had to take them thro the screen window....thats why they look sooo bad.

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Very cute Uguel!! I'm always using the invert thing.

Here's another........


Thats it....the others are way worse to post. LOL

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

Yep, they are just freeloadin now! They are HUGE! They won't be happy to find out they are gonna drop like cannon balls at the rate they are growin, IF they can even get out of the hole!

Hey! Maybe that's what happened, she fed them sooo much they can't get ouT!!

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk

right, 2 babies + the mum.
they look like they ate lots of twinkies!
BB, You'd better solidify that wall just before they fly off!

 

Re: Paint Shop Pro & PhotoFiltre Talk
