SarahLandry Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 So we've decided the door needs to be removed I am guessing the best way to do this is to duplicate the layer and clone the wall over the door and then mask it off of her?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahLandry Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 This is my first attempt, which is awful! The veil looks too fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 That's because a little bit of the yellow needs to be coming through the veil, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahLandry Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 Yes, but I am not doing very well at it. So should I clone the wall over the veil as well and then brush it off with a lower opacity brush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 This would be my approach. Download PSD Based on this method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahLandry Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 I am working on this. I am really struggling to get a clean line for masking off the veil. It's so faint and my mask painting is terrible. Is there a better option for masking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Wait ... you are using your Shift key, aren't you?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahLandry Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Still working on this..... I used the gradient method and have masked her arm, hair, and dress at 100%. (Practicing using that shift key, I am a little messy with it. For some reason it changes thickness and I am not sure why). I am getting ready to do the veil, but before I start, do you have any suggestions on the opacity of the brush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahLandry Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Also, now that I've posted and see the thumbnail (funny how that always works), I can see that there is more work to do up at the top too. I think I selected a little incorrectly when making the gradient layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 4 minutes ago, SarahLandry said: For some reason it changes thickness and I am not sure why) Gosh, it shouldn't do that. May I have a screenshot of your whole screen, so I can see your brush settings? 4 minutes ago, SarahLandry said: do you have any suggestions on the opacity of the brush? Very low. 10% at the most.

Damien Symonds Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Hmmm ... everything looks ok there. Do you use a mouse or tablet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahLandry Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Tablet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahLandry Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 This is an example. It goes from thin to thick and then thick to thin. Maybe I am not using the right sized brush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Interesting. Does it do the same with a mouse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahLandry Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Not sure, I'll give it try right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahLandry Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 No it doesn't...hmmm. It must be how quickly I tap the tablet I am thinking?? Like bleeding if I tap too long...maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 No, it's a pressure sensitivity setting. See the little icons to the left and right of the "Flow" setting in the options bar? One of them controls it, I can't remember which. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahLandry Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 That's what I meant...didn't know the words. Thank you. I'll look at the settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahLandry Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 I can't figure out where to go from here. I turned the layer opacity down to 50 so I could see the line of the veil and I traced it (using my mouse and shift) with a 10% brush at size 10 (is that too small?). But now I can't fill it in smoothly. If I use a small brush, it's blotchy and if I use a big brush it goes over the line. Not sure where to go from here....

Damien Symonds Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Oh, I'm so sorry, I forgot. For that bit, leave your brush at 100% opacity, and actually change the colour you're painting with (by clicking on the foreground swatch in the toolbar) to 50% grey (128/128/128).

SarahLandry Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Wow! That made a world of difference from using the opacity. Thank you!! Here it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Good work. Have you remembered Dither, and adding the noise layer? It's looking very bandy presently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahLandry Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Oh my gosh! I forgot all about that! (I even have the video paused at that part in another window!) Doing it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
