Coloring faces advice
« on: Monday 10 July 06 21:41 BST (UK) »
I have managed to get this far coloring family members, but I am just not able to do the faces. They are so small. I am working with layers and curves, I can use the lasso tool, but would like to use the pen tool and switch to paths.
I seem to be at a dedlock, because I just cannot leave the family without doing something with their faces.
Help, advice would be appreciated.
This is how I have done so far.
Thanks
Joy

Hi Joy,

If something is to small... You could always just make the photo larger and then resize it back when your done. That's what I would do Smiley

Thanks Grin

well, of course, the larger scan the better. but I just meant resize it in photoshop. I usually make the resolution/dpi at least 300, and change the width/height depending on the photo. Then when your finished, just resize it down to what it originally was. it's basically like using the magnifying glass, only better.
