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

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 :)

Thanks ;D

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.
