Red Dirt Girl - PhotoPaint


This image began as two different photographs. One from Mayang's Textures of flaking paint, the other from WetCanvas galleries. I opened both in PhotoPaint and worked on them separately before I combined them.

On the young lady's face I applied the Charcoal filter and adjusted it with the Tone Curve for more depth. I then copied it to the clipboard and pasted it into the texture image.

I used the object property Multiple to create transparency of the face to allow the flaking paint to show through. With some sizing adjustments I fit the face to the flaking paint.

Using Filter Forge frames I added a film frame and then decided that was too dark. I added a photography frame in the end. I resampled the image for the web in PhotoPaint.
