cjmcguinness Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 This tutorial will show you how to turn a picture of a finger (possibly your own) into a fingerprint that could be used in the ultimate signature. You will need a close up picture of a finger to begin with - I used this one (btw, it's not mine). Step 1. Invert the colours: Adjustments > Invert Colours Step 2. Set the picture as Black & White: Adjustments > Black and White Step 3. Emboss the image with an angle of 0.00 Step 4. Select Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast. Leave the Brightness at 0 and raise the Contrast to 100. Playing with the Brightness value will give you a more or less detailed final print. Step 5. Use the paintbrush, with the primary colour set White, and begin removing the extraneous black from around the print. You should be able to see a reasonable outline to base the shape by. You can now add your own unique stamp to any piece of art or even your signature (if you don't mind your print being distributed worldwide!)

usedHONDA Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 So Paint.NET isn't just a bitmap editor any more.

BoltBait Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Oh, don't be too sure. I actually have two thumbs in my collection as well. However, I won't share them with you... I'm rather attached to them. Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawmail333 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 If you don't want your thumbprints over the net, why don't you use a finger? The people from Roma might lend you one of their dozen. My Peanut Gallery (Pictorium) | Coloured Ribbons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blooper Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I'd rather not get involved with these people. Just look for "close-up finger" in Google, you should be set.
