KellyJ13 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Hello, Let me start off by saying I think that there is more than one way to do this but I'd like more experienced users' thoughts on this subject; I am trying to turn my subjects skin into an almost snow-white without losing any details to his face (like lines, texture). Now I think this could be accomplished using the "colored eye" technique but I feel like there is another way to do this with all the different tools and effects that would be easier. Hmmmmm Please feel free to comment. I am open to any suggestions (or if you just want to tell me I'm nuts ) Thanks, Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAND33P Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Not sure how youd get a completely white face, but maybe you should give the 'Glow' plugin a try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnnoob Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 You could also slightly increase the contrast and decrease saturation. Usually, you don't need to make the face completely white to make it look pale. Just making a face have less color than usual tricks the mind into seeing a really pale figure Quote No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Why not make the face region of the image greyscale?

jim100361 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Is this the sort of result that you're striving for? I did this one using 2 layers. Bottom layer colored Top layer Black and White Erase everything you want to remain in color from the black and white If it's too white (as I thought mine was originally), double click in the Layer's Pane for the top layer picture and adjust the transparency so some of the bottom colored layer shows through.
