Using The PSP Makeover Tools
The PSP Makeover tools are a group of really
unique, easy to use Makeover brushes and when they are combined with a
couple of other tools and effects you can turn anyone into a supermodel
- or an otherwordly being depending on how far you take it!
Are you one of those people who likes to take an ordinary picture of an
ordinary persom and perform a complete and stunning digital makeover on
them?
Thought so ...
These
tools and procedure simply prove that pretty much any photograph you
see in magazines and ads does not really depict the actual human being
who was originally photographed.
PSP Makeover
Tools
With the PSP Makeover tools you can easily:
- Remove
Blimishes ...
- Clean Teeth
...
- Add sparkle
to the whites of the eyes ...
- Add a suntan
- and ...
- Even remove
unwanted pounds!
Learning
Center
This is great - all of the makeover tools are in the same place and the
Learning Center tells you exactly how to use them.
These are the Learning Center instructions for the Blemish Fixer, the
Toothbrush and the Suntan Brush.
They are clear and concise and tell you exactly what to do.
There are no instructions for the Suntan Brush or the Thinify tool.
It must be because useing them correctly is self evident.
To add a suntan just paint it on. You can choose the strength
and remember that less is more.
The
thinify tool is unique. Select the strength of the thinning
effect and then click in the middle of the object being 'thinified" and
let PSP do its thing. You can do as many 'thinifies' as you
want
until you are satisfied.

Other
Makeover Tools
Probably the most dramatic procedure is to run Skin Smoothing on
the image (Adjust
> Skin Smoothing).
As you can see from the graphic, the Amount is adjustable
- from hardly any smoothing at all to the complete porcelain look.
Now that the skin is nice and smooth you need to do something about the rest of the picture because
everything is waaay to smooth.
This is where you grab the Sharpen
Brush and sharpen those things that need to be sharpened
like the eyes, eyebrows, hair, lips, teeth and background.
Like
a lot of the other PSP tools, you can adjust pretty much everything
with the Sharpen Brush including Brush Variance with your Graphire,
Bamboo or Intuos tablet.
So let's apply all of the tools discussed to this point in this order
and then compare the before and after pictures.
- Blemish
remover
- Toothbrush
- Eyedrop
- Suntan
- Thinify
- Skin Smoothing
- Sharpen
