Can't "burn" photo, only "dodge" in PSP 8.10
|
|
|
| Hi,
I have a photo of a woman next to a stone wall in a narrow street where the
upper section of the wall is washed out by direct sunlight, but still shows
some stone texture. I tried to burn it in with the Lighten/Darken tool and
the Marble brush, but the tool only lightens; it does not darken.
The Retouch Tools section of Help only says which tools are available, but
does not say how to access or use them. Can you help me?
Also, is there a "vignette" tool that would facilitate modifying photos to
have gradual darkening at the corner edges.
Thank you.
Orrie

Left button lighten right button darken
dodge is left to dodge and right to burn but if you pick the burn tool its
the other way round. Get the idea right is the opposite of left with a lot
of tools.
Vignette is done by feathering a selection. There are also so some frames
and masks that could alter the edge see photo edges masks

You can switch these round on the Tool Option Palette (F4) -
Swap Mouse Buttons.

Not true. Use the right mouse or click the Swap Mouse Buttons
checkbox in Tool Options. In addition there is a Burn brush
and a Dodge brush.

No, but you can try this:
1. Open your original image.
2. Duplicate the image (Shift D)
3. Gaussian blur the image with a high value. Try 30 but the
best value depends on the size of your image and the size
of the vignetting.
4. Do Image > Arithmetic. Set Image #1 to the original and
Image #2 to the blurred duplicate. Set the Function to
Subtract, check All Channels, set Divisor to 1 and Bias
to 128. If the result looks too washed out, try a larger
blur in step 3.
5. Run Auto Contrast Enhancement on the result.
6. Run Auto Saturation Enhancement.
