PRINT:

CLEANING BEFORE MAKING NEW COLOR WAYS:

OPEN THE FILE “SCANNED PRINT”
DUPLICATE THE PRINT : IMAGE > DUPLICATE

THIS LETS YOU BE ABLE TO SEE THE ORIGINAL THROUGH THE PROCESS

WE WILL TRY TO REDUCE THE COLOURS IN THE IMAGE:

ZOOM AT THE PRINT AND YOU WILL SEE NEW DETAILS, MANY DIFFERENT SHADES OF BROWN,
AND EDGES WITH “WRONG” COLORS.

FIRST WE WILL CHANGE THE BLUE COLOR SHADES:

USE THE MAGIC WAND TOOL, AND CHECK THE SETTING IN THE CONTROL PANEL:

CLICK INTO A BLUE AREA, DECIDE IF YOU WANT TO REFINE THE EDGE:

MAKE A NEW LAYER, AND FILL IN A NEW COLOR.

DO THE SAME WITH THE ROSE AREA, USE A NEW COLOR AND A NEW LAYER.

BEFORE SELECTING THE BROWN COLORS, YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE TOLERANCE OF THE MAGIC WAND TOOL
TRY TO WORK WITH A TOLERANCE OF 3.

SELECT THE MIDDLE BROWN SHADE, ADD A LAYER AND FILL WITH A NEW COLOR.

DO THE SAME WITH THE DARK BROWN SHADE.

ADD A NEW LAYER, PLACE THIS ABOVE THE BACKGROUND LAYER, AND FILL WITH A NEW COLOR.

ZOOM AND YOU WILL SEE A LOT OF COLOR SPOTS, THE EASIEST WAY TO CLEAN IS TO MAKE THE COLORED
AREA OF EACH LAYER BIGGER.
AND YOU MIGHT NEED TO WORK WITH PENCIL AND COMBINE WITH THE SELECTION TOOLS.

THIS IS NORMALLY A TIME KILLING PROCESS...................................

IF YOU NEED THIS FOR A SCABELONE FOR A PRINTER DO A HARD WORK,
BUT IF YOU NEED THIS FOR MAKING NEW COLORWAYS,
STOP WHEN THE IMPRESSION IS GOOD.

AFTER CLEANING, YOU CAN MAKE NEW COLORWAYS.
