| Re: Smudging resources Smudge portrait. I like to keep the various peices in different layers, than I can sharpen them separately. Rô |

new layer, and checking the box at the top that says "use all layers" problem with it, is that it slows the pc down considerably the more you do, but for say the eyes etc it is ok or do this for a bit then turn visibility off on the background layer and you can see where you have missed smudging ! ! !

| Re: Smudging resources My attempt at the girl, and I send my apologies i thought this was a decent candidate to smudge for both those starting out smudging and for those who just wanted practice WRONG ![]() the freckles ( wished i could of got them back in ) and all the fine fly away hair cause some problems (take note) And yes the dog has a few problems like blown out bits ! ! ! ! but i suppose it shows you what is meant be some images work better than others Palms |

| Re: Smudging resources when i have finished a smudge painting i sharpen, but different ways depending on the image. ( when you read the tutorials they nearly all use a different way ) This is quite time consuming so i have attempted It opens a duplicate of the image and makes 5 layers each with a different type of sharpening, just turn on the visibility (eye) of each layer to see the effect. this is meant to be mainly a visual guide so that you can make a quicker choice for your original hopefully i have got everything right and it runs ok Palms Last edited by palms; 02-19-2008 at 06:53 AM.
