Coming from a group home page (?)

Here is the translation Roberto......i found this site on the internet that helped me translate from french to english,but the results were not that great.
Hope you will be able to understand it more than me, because it didn't work for me too good....i'm a windows user and this technique is for mac os.


"Color accentuation in method LAB, neatness and masks merger :

1. PICTURE OF DEPARTURE

The departure picture is distressing, the light is bad but framing goes me well. ..j'aurais been able to apply me as early as the taken one of initial view but good. ..suis distracts sometimes.

The file in JPEG to 300 dpi of consequent size, the alteration remains possible, nothing is lost. I explain you how I proceed here. I start with to apply a salvage with the tool level automatic, this step does not figure in the examples here but this is not essential, the result is immediate.

2. Method LAB

-Go in the menu PICTURE then METHOD & to select "COLOR LAB", nothing of easier one then to duplicate your tracing ....sic - through the menu tracing or by one to slip to deposit on the tracing icon in your right window all down below
-open the onglet puts to bed in your right window here
-select "L" your photo becomes N&B then in the menu PICTURE previously selected "TO APPLY A PICTURE"
-select in the window that apparait puts to bed it "has" then for "Operation" the method inlaying and validate
-Repeat the operation while selecting "has" and "b" in the onglet puts to bed but without modifying this time the values "puts to bed" in the new window and validate for each.
-return in the onglet puts to bed here to right and select the method LAB
-Your iphoto you apparaitra a lot livelier one! you also can reinforce the neatness of your masterpiece always in method LAB. Flatten your picture through the menu "TRACING"(LAYER i think :) )
-In the right window will not see you therefore more than a single tracing, logical. Return just to quoted in the onglet "PUTS TO BED" and choose "L" then in the menu filters to choose an "ACCENTUATION" of an average value of "GAIN" = 50 "RAY" 5.5 and "THRESHOLD" 1 (very different Parameters according to your photos) To Validate!
-Click LAB here that is done, if neatness is too strong to go back and reduce your values
-return in the menu "PICTURE" and tip in method color RVB

3. Method RVB + masks

We go "TO DUPLICATE" our photo then all to select and fill here of black the new tracing one. Verify that it is well selected in the right window here through the onglet "TRACING"

Then "TO ADD A MASK OF MERGER" at the bottom of your palette "tracing" always to right here ....à quoted of the "F" method function for those that do not follow!
It appears to quoted of your new tracing one, the one fill in black previously. ..cliquer on this merger tracing, attention it is well to right of the copy of your background, look for in your palette tool here all to the left the tool brush and choose a plug to the outline soften rather wide. ...ici around 200 pixels
Useful remark: Photoshop is well done but it is necessary of the time to seize the body of the space of work, to find the tool options ...elles are posted in top to the left when a tool is to select.

With the tool brushes wide thus obtained I can therefore to paint on the merger mask while alternating with the key" X "the black and the white one in the palette color, masking thus the details that do not suit.

This step asks harshness, she will be the basis of your détourrage and future selection. This finished that to do? Your merger mask posts a black spot. it is necessary now to select it directly while clicking with the function option of your keyboard. The zone is surrounded by stipple, die to select the of your copy and select your background. If you well did, it suffices you to cut the pixels "ctrl x" while watching to what the black one be your background color in this example.
I did not again take the time climb the video of this Tutoriel, with a little practices you have not even more to reflect to the manipulations, the all is feasible in some minutes.
I hope to have been rather clear in my explanations of the last party
Nième notices. ..si understood you the usage of the masks of merger your creativity no longer will have limit, light provision on the different copy of a picture zone by zone for example. ..toutes the combinations you are accessible, vary the intensities, the different methods of tracings. ..c'est there that your alteration work becomes exciting :))))
The result is there, and for those that follow to the there low bottom. ..l'ombre under the flamingo neck is well added, she do not n'éxiste at the start... "
