Corel Photo-Paint 9

Motion & the clone tool

by Joyce Evans

 

 

To begin this exercise open an image,or you can download this one. It was a complimentary image from Eyewire.

1

Open your image.

 



2

Open your Objects Docker—if it isn't already open. Go to Window|Dockers|Object

 


3

Go up to Effects and choose: Effects|Blur|Zoom Use a setting of 87 or so (you can go all the way to 100 if you can still see a vague outline of your person)

Click OK

What a mess! Sure doesn't look like much does it, actually it looks like I've totally destroyed this image. But wait....




4

Select your clone tool, it's in the brushes palette, the one with 2 brushes.

Go to the properties bar and in the dropdown choose the clone from saved

Use these settings: Nib 39 (or a good size for your image, I ended up lowering mine to 20 for the thin arms) Transparency 50 Soft Edge 80

5  

Gently rub back the person, if you rub too much just do an Edit|Undo

 



6

File|Save As, be sure to save in a Photo-Paint image format for future alterations.

For the web save as a jpg as well.
