I have an awesome photo .......except that there was a spotlight pointing in my direction as I took it. The result is a glare. Otherwise the pic is a classic chiaroscuro cityscape.
I know it cannot be totally removed, but is there a way its effect can be reduced almost unnoticeably. I tried -Adjustments: brightness/contrast- but reducing either just created a grey blot with a distinct "border".
Is there another PAINT.NET trick of the trade similar to "redeye removal" that can disguise these glares please, because I am sure this comes up quite often?
The closer I got to the same look was to create a brush with the size of 1 pixel and 500% spacing, but it's still a bit slow to get even a small area looking like it's been sprayed. Plus, in the end my pattern looks too regular, not very natural. Here is part of the image whose look I'm trying to recreate (400% and 100%).
How to compare two similar solid model and found where its differetiate is, and how to compare two similar drawing let say rev.1 to rev.2 and found where its differentiate is?
I'm need a Gradient Map tool. If you're in Photoshop Elements 9, click on Filter - Adjustments - Gradient Map.
That's the tool I'm looking for. I downloaded a few plugins for Paint but one was too old and didn't work and the other one just did an overlay.
I use this tool a lot and really can't make the switch without it. Is there an updated plugin that I couldn't find? Is it built in and I'm not seeing it?
A vector editor/maker similar to the UI of PDN? I always liked the simplicity that PDN offers while being able to create stunning works, but I'm working on some flash movies and have been told vector images are the way to go.
I have been experimenting with removing backgrounds. I can see it is easy to work with solid block objects like buildings and vehicles and stuff like that.
I want to use it with people when their hair is wind swept. So far it isn't working within the flying hair very well and if there is a small spot that needs the background to come through it doesn't work well and also takes out the main foreground as well.
just downloading Paint.NET v3.5.9(Beta Release build 3.59.4278.36311).

bestand easiest steps to complete this task in v3.5.9.
i've been digging around trying to find a plugin for 'spot removal', but haven't had any luck. am i missing it? i've found only one post in a all the forums that even mentions the word "spot".
I actually do like using the software and I do like the updates and where it is heading.
I ran into a small problem last night when using the Digital Noise Removal plugin. I was playing with settings and unlinked the Noise Correction sliders and moved them about. Then I tried linking them back and clicked on the Large slider to make further adjustments when a blank alert dialog popped up. I can click the blank button and it disappears and seems to continue work, although the settings barely move. Each time I adjust the Large slider after this I get the same dialog.
A question for the PSPx5 experts. Under Adjust/Digital Noise Removal there is a check box for 'Camera Preset'. I like to use this and have set up a preset for my Nikon D7000. The problem is that if I'm not quick to click the check box, PSPx5 starts to run the noise removal. (It seems as though once started there is no going back. If I start again I get an 'over processed' image). Is there a way of opening Digital Noise Removal with the 'Camera Preset' as the default? Or is the 'Last Used' option using the 'Camera Preset' that I last used? Ideally I would like the 'Camera Preset' box checked all the time.
Reference tutorial=> Remove Photo Backgrounds with the Background Eraser {URL]
a) I follow the tutorial above to remove backgrounds. However, the background has similar color than picture (in this case "white" - picture attached - FIG_2). So, when I use "background eraser" tool, it erase part of my picture as well. So, how to handle it properly?
b) The tutorial was usefull to other image that has different backgound color (FIG_3 attached). But using other software (Gimp) I could just take the transparency index (color=> color to alfa) with "one click" without the request of erase background manually. So, is there any similar way to do it easily in Paint Shop?
I'm currently going through a batch of digital photos I took of my nephew, some of which have serious red eye issues.
using the inbuilt red eye removal tool under the adjust drop down has proven quite useful, but I am limited in terms of iris colors. none of the default colors seem to be a good match for his own eye color and they are noticeably inaccurate in the final result. is there any way to either mix the default iris colors then save the new color, or add extra colors any other way?
Using PaintShop Pro on Windows 7: I am trying to restore an old photo that I scanned as a TIF. When I open the file, I can use the Scratch Remover tool without any difficulty. Once I switch to Object Remover though, I cannot go back to the Scratch Remover -- the Object selection stays active and even though I can drag the scratch tool, it won't do anything. How can I kill the Object Remover?
I just have a question for the more experienced users - Since I'm fairly new to Photoshop and graphic design in general, I haven't yet purchased a drawing tablet for my PC. My question is: Is it really worth it to use a tablet over a mouse? If so, which is the recommended brand/model?
I need to remove a picture of a horse in the background and replace it with a picture of a fence similar to the rest of the picture. I know how to erase the image using the lasso tool and the magic wand. How do I clone part of the background to replace the erased image and then blend the two pictures together?
I need to put a Trade Make (TM) in a title. I cannot figure out how to do it? I choose Wingding font? or just what? The Wingding font option did not seem to work?
I need to create a slightly cloudy background for a trade show graphic. On a small scale, the Filter > Render > Clouds trick works fine. But when I do this on a huge scale... it's not so cute (see attached). Is there a way to create "clouds" on a large scale?
I have two photos, shooted probably the same day, by the same photograph in the same place !But the pose is a bit different.
first one is in high resolution and in black & white nuance. second one is a small resolution and in full colors. I wish re-color the black&white photo using exactly the same nuance from the colored one.
can i "copy" all the colors from the color-one to the b&w one ?
I have recently purchased a new Mac and have come to find out that my Photoshop that i had on my PC no longer works. I tried to do a cross-platform upgrade, but because i purchased it on ebay they will not allow me too. I am wondering if anyone out there is in my situation but vice versa and would like to trade. I will show pictures of the box and anything you need for proof.
OK, I want to remove the flash effect from a dog's eyes. I have been to to the red eye removal place and selected the DOG option. However, I cannot get it to work. What am I doing wrong?
I have used Gimp many times in the past, sometimes for fairly complicated photo retouch but mostly for more routine things like red eye removal, cropping, exposure control, etc. I downloaded a new version of Gimp when I replaced my computer some time ago. I followed the Gimp tutorial for red eye removal and it worked but the lines created when I used the free selection tool are remaining after I click OK to finalize the operation. Am I missing a click somewhere to turn of the selection lines?
how to process a batch of similar photos with just a few mouse clicks? mainly, "crop", exposure, sharpening....mostly telephoto shots of surfers, where I have the surfer in center, but too far away (crop)....low contrast shots during fog or evening hours (contrast) and other functions on similarly exposed shots....sometimes up to several hundred (3fps motor drive) * my m.o., is to fill up the memory card approx 300 shots...then come home and process each file (the good ones) the files come into my mac mini into "iphotos".can I make them come into "bridge" PS cs4??
