~PAINT STROKE~



HIYA GANG, HERE'S A NEW TECHNIQUE DISCOVERED BY MY VERY GOOD FRIEND MARY ANN. SHE GAVE ME THE HONOR OF WRITING UP THIS TUTORIAL....LET ME TELL YOU , THIS LOOK IS AWESOME...YOU ARE GONNA LOVE IT, I KNOW I DO! I LOVE EVERYTHING TO DO WITH IMAGING, BUT YOU ARE REALLY GONNA LOVE THIS ONE....;D

HERE GOES......



ORIGINAL:



***NOTE: YOU WILL NEED A GRAPHICS WITH RICH, VIVID COLORS FOR THIS TECHNIQUE

COLORMAP/BLACK & WHITE (UNCHECK DITHER)
***NOTE AFTER YOU DO THE COLORMAP/B&W STEP, THE PART THAT IS WHITE WILL BE WHAT PICKS UP THE COLOR AND THE BLACK PART WILL REMAIN BLACK.   SO WHETHER TO NEGATE IT DEPENDS ON WHICH PART OF THE IMAGE YOU WANT TO GET THE COLOR. YOU CAN USUALLY TELL AFTER THE EDGE DETECT WHETHER YOU NEED TO GO BACK AND USE NEGATE.

HERE'S ANOTHER TIP** IF YOU USE A GRAPHIC THAT ONLY GIVES YOU A BLACK OR WHITE SCREEN AFTER THE FIRST STEP, GO BACK AND TRY USING ENHANCE/SPIFF A FEW TIMES AND THEN CONTRAST-STRETCH@10. SOMETIMES THAT WILL GIVE YOU ENOUGH EXTRA CONTRAST THAT IT WILL WORK WITH THE COLORMAP STEP. ENHANCE/NEGATE (OPTIONAL)
COMPOSITE/COLORBURN
