can you tell me how to change a photo into a painting using "quick clone? I downloaded the trial and it has me stumped.
FYI...I am fairly good at photoshop...

Ken,
I haven't used quickclone a whole lot yet, but here is how it works as I understand it. after you open your photo, hit quickclone. this brings up an image that has tracing paper turned on...it will look like there is a piece of tracing paper over your original. Choose your brush tool and then go to the upper right, where you will see "brush category" (if you roll your pointer over the little image) By default I think it should have the cloner tool already chosen - if not choose "cloners" from the drop down menu. To the right of the brush category you will find the "brush variant" section. hit the drop down and you will see a whole list of cloner brushes to choose from. choose one of them and you can start painting on the tracing paper.
On the upper right margine of the window that you are cloning on you will see a box with a square overlaid and offset from another. This will toggle the underlying image on and off, so you can see what the result of your tracing is without the underlying image showing. You can also change the opacity of your tracing paper by clicking and holding over that icon.
I hope this helps you get started. I have used Painter for many years now and it never ceases to amaze me. It is FAR and away the best natural media program there is...nothing comes close!
Enjoy! and let us know how you do. |

Hey thanks for the reply...
after I posted I searched around and found out about quick clone. In about an hour I had it under control. Like you said, the tracing paper comes out as a guide. You then pick a brush and "style" such as "impressionist", "pencil color" etc...and go at it.
You then use the "straight clone" to bring back detail to faces...hands etc...
...well that's my take on it. I have it free for another 59 days before I have to decide to keep it or not. I'll buy it if I find I'm getting comments at home on the "unique" art I'm creating!
Thanks,
KS

Ken...this may be obvious, but if yuou are not using one of the "Cloner" brushes, be sure to have the "Color" window open (Ctrl+1 toggle) and choose the rubber stamp to pick up image colors with whatever brush you are using.
BTW - are you using a pressure sensitive pen/tablet? Painter particularly shines with one - that is what it is designed to be used with. The mouse is perfectly usable, but you sacrifice a ton of functionality without the pen/tablet. |

Great! Are you using Painter? While painting from scratch is one way to do things, please note that Ken's question was about using the QuickClone feature. Have you used it? If so how do you use it...with cloning brushes, regular ones, some combination or otherwise? |
