"An Impressionistic Study - Allison" Corel Painter Photo Essentials 4 - Plus

Allison Studying

I used a phone photograph for today's experimental study. This was taken by my son Keir M. Gatzka of a close friend of ours, quite a while ago. She was studying in the back seat of his car and as you can see the sun blew out some of the image.

I liked this because of the focus on her face. I opened this photograph from Picasa 3.9 with Corel PSP Pro X3 and used my photography workflow on it. I resized it, ran the Digital Camera Noise Removal and Smart Photo Fix on it. I adjusted the color, then used the Saturation Vibrance on it. I also used the Time Machine feature Cross Processing tool. I saved this file.

I opened with Corel Painter Photo Essentials 4 and applied the Impressionistic auto paint. Then I used the clone brush to bring back details in her face and arms. Saving that painting I opened with Corel PhotoPaint and added my signature and saved again.
