THIS IS A FUN FIND WE HAVE JUST MADE AT SCARLET'S
EXTREME IMAGING NEWS GROUP.

IT DEALS WITH SOME EASY TO DO OPTIONS OFFERED BY THE IMAGE MAGICK STUDIOS.
IT WILL GIVE YOUR IMAGES A NICE COLOR WITHOUT FLOOD-FILLING THEM.

IT CAN BE FOUND IN "ENHANCE" AND WILL ONLY WORK, AS FAR AS HAS BEEN DETERMINED, WITH SIGMOIDAL CONTRAST.

YOU USE THE DROP DOWN BELOW SIGMOIDAL/CONTRAST AND CHOOSE THE COLOR AND THE VIRTUAL PIXEL METHOD OF YOUR PREFERENCE.

IT'S VERY EASY TO USE AND SHOULD BE ADJUSTED TO SUIT YOUR IMAGE. THE PARAMETER SHOULD BE CHANGED ACCORDING TO THE NEED.
IF YOU ARE WORKING WITH A PHOTO OR A DIFFICULT IMAGE YOU NEED TO RAISE THE PARAMETER TO A HIGHER NUMBER TO GET MORE SATURATION.

WE HAVE FOUND THAT IT WORKS BEST WITH MOST GRAPHICS. BUT IT CAN BE USED TO GIVE FLESH TONE TO BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOS ALSO. USE PARAMETER @25 AND DROPDOWN CHANNEL = RED.

HERE ARE SOME IMAGES TO ILLUSTRATE:

ORIGINAL:



I PUT 30 IN THE PARAMETER BOX
CLICKED ON ENHANCE/SIGMOIDAL CONTRAST
DROPDOWN CHANNEL COLOR CHOICE MAGENTA
THEN CLICKED DROP DOWN BOX UNDER VIRTUAL PIXEL AND CHOSE "MIRROR"

RESULT:



THAT'S ALL IT TOOK.

HERE'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE WITH A DIFFERENT PARAMETER NUMBER, COLOR AND VIRTUAL PIXEL CHOICE..:-)

ORIGINAL:



ENHANCE/SIGMOIDAL CONTRAST @20
DROPDOWN CHANNEL COLOR = RED
VIRTUAL PIXEL = EDGE

RESULT:





HERE'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE AWESOME RESULTS YOU CAN GET WITH THIS.

THIS ONE WAS DONE BY SCARLET

ORIGINAL:



ENHANCE/SIGMOIDAL CONTRAST =16
DROPDOWN CHANNEL COLOR = MAGENTA
ENHANCE/HUE =90
ENHANCE/BRIGHT =140
ENHANCE/SATURATE =115
EFFECT/SHARP= 5X5
DECORATE 7X7 SINK NO COLOR
DECORATE 5X5+2+2 GRAY14 FRAME
ANNOTATE, OUTPUT @ QUALITY =25

"EMBRYONIC PSYCHIC"





I also want to give credit for this and all the wonderful ideas that come out of our group to the other members.
Without the constant bantering of ideas, questioning and experimentation we would not be able to come up with these new "FINDS".
The limit for what we can continue to do is endless. It is of vital importance that we keep that in mind at all times.....to KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!!!!
