If you like to use mine, click
on the thumbnail, then right click and 'save as' (painting is from Public
Domain, so is safe to use)
I used PaintShop Pro 7.04, but
it will be mostly the same in other versions
Open the painting....
With your lassoo tool set to
point to point, feather nil, antialias unchecked, surround the girl as close as
you can, doesn't have to be perfect.... when you have surrounded her,
double click to hug the selection close...
Right click on the blue bar of the
painting....click on copy.... Edit....Paste as New Image
That girl looks all grainy, so.... With your lassoo tool, carefully surround the
legs, arm and part of her face, like below..... Do NOT do her eyes nose and mouth!
Go to Effects....Enhance photo.....Moire
pattern removal with these settings.... Click Ok....
(If using later psp versions, like corel psp
X, go to 'adjust'....one step noise removal)
That looks much better, most times you won't
need to, but if you see some lines, it needs a bit of
cleaning up.....
So, with your Retouch tool set ...... Touch up the lines
on her legs and arms......
Maybe her face needs a cleanup too.....
Her lips and eyes looks a bit blurry, so I
used the clone brush, right clicked to pick a colour and painted
around her eye and lips.....
Then using the Retouch Tool set to Soften.... soften the lips and under her eye....
We're nearly there :-)
Notice her hair? That looks very flat!
So we're going to fix that with the Retouch
Tool set to Smudge.....
Now go over the outside of her hair and out
and down and up at different sections.....
This is the difference of the face....
When you are happy with it, save as a tube for
using it again and again :-)
Note: If you're using a different painting,
the settings might have to differ, so play with it till you're
happy with it..
