<span style="text-align: start;">Processing photos to make them as if they were shot from film is getting popular nowadays, because they do add some character to the photograph. In this tutorial, I’ll show you a quick way to emulate that film grain look to your digital photos.</span></div>
<br style="text-align: start;" />
<span style="text-align: start;">Film grain or granularity is the random optical texture that appears on film and it is a result from the film development process. Film grain differs in appearances. Films with higher ISO generate larger or rougher grains on the image while lower ISO creates smaller and finer grains. </span><br />
<br style="text-align: start;" />
<span style="text-align: start;">Film grain effect is most popular when processing B&W photos, so Let’s start by converting this portrait to black and white by using the one of the B&W-Platinum preset in PhotoDirector.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjujwpGr0aUQrk9KKw_UwA-LXza7DO4jRdVFn_uwSWG6LHH-4n51BC8hBwHXaYAhOQg64RQtEcQ71aNsd036oNk-C0XwwZqFCCCDSwxi3qoI4mrcAfG8tO_tlDx6LtjKxVFekC6K1c_RTwz/s1600/Grain-01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="376" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjujwpGr0aUQrk9KKw_UwA-LXza7DO4jRdVFn_uwSWG6LHH-4n51BC8hBwHXaYAhOQg64RQtEcQ71aNsd036oNk-C0XwwZqFCCCDSwxi3qoI4mrcAfG8tO_tlDx6LtjKxVFekC6K1c_RTwz/s640/Grain-01.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Keep in mind there are several ways to convert color images to black and white in PhotoDirector. You can do it manually, and we have a previous article that teaches you how. <a href="http://create-n-play.blogspot.tw/2014/05/converting-photos-to-black-and-white.html">http://create-n-play.blogspot.tw/2014/05/converting-photos-to-black-and-white.html</a><br />
<br />
Using the preset is a quick way to get an effect, but you can make further adjustments. The result of the preset is on the brighter side, I think it needs to tone down a bit and contrast boost to emulate photographs processed from films. Here are the quick edits and its result:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieleelLzzgy1c0j9WGZe2NwknZ54hnhE9tWs9rOhPw_nodfax_eTsTiEOgxMXgtYfOofRLTow5_yXIJ99PQS3H1QYqc_NsosC4-3Ed5Zur-UeuZ_LudnlNzuarmxYEb1qbPse0zaa4tMKf/s1600/Grain-02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="488" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieleelLzzgy1c0j9WGZe2NwknZ54hnhE9tWs9rOhPw_nodfax_eTsTiEOgxMXgtYfOofRLTow5_yXIJ99PQS3H1QYqc_NsosC4-3Ed5Zur-UeuZ_LudnlNzuarmxYEb1qbPse0zaa4tMKf/s640/Grain-02.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
At this time, you can do portrait retouch using the tools in the Edit module to touch up your portrait. Here is another tutorial that goes through some the major tools [link]. But for this photo, I didn’t think it was necessary.<br />
<br />
Now that we have a good black and white image to work with, go to the Edit Module and select Grain Effect.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga0-D1XvIxwkGbZ_i4KD_PA368pXI7PBUPraCRN8PyLhkf2bn6LAlOPSckH7HDa1MEKpRqsRm-JgvB4nrfBtQ_7SZ3inGPemxbOrTACTEYe2RO-HKj9ohOVzbQO1dYNrNVi6eNDo8iRXlr/s1600/Grain-03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="380" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga0-D1XvIxwkGbZ_i4KD_PA368pXI7PBUPraCRN8PyLhkf2bn6LAlOPSckH7HDa1MEKpRqsRm-JgvB4nrfBtQ_7SZ3inGPemxbOrTACTEYe2RO-HKj9ohOVzbQO1dYNrNVi6eNDo8iRXlr/s640/Grain-03.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
PhotoDirector provides several adjustment controls to create the grain look you want. Enlarge your photo while adjusting the Grain Tools, you will see the effects more clearly.<br />
<br />
1. Amount: decides how grainy you want the image to be.<br />
<br />
2. Size: As mentioned, the higher the ISO the larger the grain size. In this picture, I opted for a lower size because the overall image is fairly bright. If this we a night shot, I would select a bigger size.<br />
<br />
3. Feature and strength lets you adjust intensity of the grain look.<br />
<br />
4. There is also an eraser to wipe out areas you do not want the grain effect.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Here is the final image comparing with the Black and White versions, adding grain effect does add a nice texture on the photo. (The image on the left with Grain Effect applied)<br />

<br />
Here is an enlarged comparison:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSfheX8nwQicbhxkpDm96fF5rhMuHpG9TpwCPUuI4NoggdQjozuCi84OStu1rabY-pt_7OiCQTa-GAd3TSDeVSWfU5fU6cfeyqm58S9gOKqCBTMJn1NmbKtmkWxNWGrZv-wp8OCet5I2c8/s1600/Grain-06.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSfheX8nwQicbhxkpDm96fF5rhMuHpG9TpwCPUuI4NoggdQjozuCi84OStu1rabY-pt_7OiCQTa-GAd3TSDeVSWfU5fU6cfeyqm58S9gOKqCBTMJn1NmbKtmkWxNWGrZv-wp8OCet5I2c8/s640/Grain-06.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
You can also add grain effect to color images too. First step to is adjust tonality of the image to give it a vintage look.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqaogXNYc305ILkH52qlJA0DabC4VlHKE83QAfWSjziIaDEd9Z-AqM6_LDt-myJ7rgHkCJh5601db4nFAQMTmHSAj04aYNMfog-0N8Ya6l74GUu6ZB0RCvkeme4fYN0k6kiis6SSx5opMm/s1600/Grain-07.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="222" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqaogXNYc305ILkH52qlJA0DabC4VlHKE83QAfWSjziIaDEd9Z-AqM6_LDt-myJ7rgHkCJh5601db4nFAQMTmHSAj04aYNMfog-0N8Ya6l74GUu6ZB0RCvkeme4fYN0k6kiis6SSx5opMm/s640/Grain-07.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Then add the Grain Effect:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg68sWrc9O1aWqbpoz35NfcmNtW-znOzTE48UJdIB1dRr5CkzU6QuRNBFPRB-WFEXlBIhCut_8E3KOnSECpiulewVMtlmJGmTiO3B7GcuzpVD_rKfKT0a5EtkPb4rh29r4VgrHPHagQZpxX/s1600/Grain-08.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg68sWrc9O1aWqbpoz35NfcmNtW-znOzTE48UJdIB1dRr5CkzU6QuRNBFPRB-WFEXlBIhCut_8E3KOnSECpiulewVMtlmJGmTiO3B7GcuzpVD_rKfKT0a5EtkPb4rh29r4VgrHPHagQZpxX/s640/Grain-08.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
If you are after the retro or vintage look for your photos, try applying the Grain Effect. It just adds so much texture to you image.<br />

Though the images will be distorted by simulating a wide-angle view, but you can take it to your advantage. Here are 3 examples, taking bland images to create something different.<br />1. Cutify your Pet and Kids with Fisheye lens effect<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There is something to admire about old photographs - their scratched surfaces, torn edges, tint color stains. Though most of us do not have the dark rooms of the old days, not to mention a film camera, using software to make digital photos look like as if they were shot from film cameras is quite popular nowadays. Earlier this year Lomography has gone even further by launching a Kickstarter campaign to fund its production of the Daguerreotype Lens for modern cameras. The Lens aims at bringing back the look from Daguerreotype processed images - the first publicly announced photographic process in the history of photography, invented by Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre in 1839.<br />
<br />
Each daguerreotype is developed with a complex process on a silvered copper plate producing a unique aesthetic look. Thanks to today’s technology, we can bring back many of its characteristics found in the Daguerreotype image just by using PhotoDirector. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Step 1: Select an image</span></b><br />
<br />
Back in the 19th century, the daguerreotype images were taken with long exposures, so if there are clouds or water in your photo, make sure they are blurred with movement. If there are people in the street, make sure they are eliminated. If you select a portrait, make sure the person is in a position that can be stable for at least 30 minutes. Yes, that was how long a photo was taken back in the days. No wonder, portraits had a solemn look, and in a sitting position. They simply can’t move much or the whole picture will be blurred.<br />
<br />
So, if you are to shoot your image and emulate the daguerreotype, make sure to take long exposure images. In this tutorial, we will use the image of a portrait taken from a modern camera. </div>

<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Step 2: Convert to Black and White</span></b><br />
<br />
There is more than one way to convert a color photo into Black and White. There is another tutorial for this topic. In this example, I de-saturated the image and made further adjustment to the highlight, shadows and midtones to darken the overall look. The photo also looked too sharp so the Clarity is dialed down too.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH1tYH8MF4uZGC3OcFiE2zdpOHi-eXngQ9fiHwQElU2Go7EomLlGKulO2A2p0h4F00nTXvjT7lEwIp4Dyg-IwTjd_HSVbQ-HsnkVepGRL0iqNc8QC6DegMITKecelcm5xz8SLEJSiwfx3a/s1600/Dag+02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH1tYH8MF4uZGC3OcFiE2zdpOHi-eXngQ9fiHwQElU2Go7EomLlGKulO2A2p0h4F00nTXvjT7lEwIp4Dyg-IwTjd_HSVbQ-HsnkVepGRL0iqNc8QC6DegMITKecelcm5xz8SLEJSiwfx3a/s640/Dag+02.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Before moving to the next step, I find the dimension of this photo doesn’t seem right, most old photos use a 4x5 ratio. By using the Crop tool, the image can be easily adjusted to the desired ratio.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Step 3: Add texture</b></span><br />
<br />
There are lots of free texture images on the Internet. Google search “scratched metal texture” and you will come up with some pretty cool sites that offer texture images for free. Make sure you read the guidelines and instructions so you do not infringe copyright.<br />
<br />
I downloaded a couple of texture files from the websites below. They offer some for free.<br />
<a href="https://lostandtaken.com/downloads/category/scratched/">https://lostandtaken.com/downloads/category/scratched/</a> <br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/41043877@N06/albums/72157623352208482">https://www.flickr.com/photos/41043877@N06/albums/72157623352208482</a> <br />
<br />
In this image, I applied 2 layers of texture, one for its scratch and blue tint and the other for its ragged borders and warm tint. To apply the texture:<br />
<ol>
<li>Go to the Layers module</li>
<li>Import the first texture file </li>
<li>Change the Blend mode to Overlay</li>
<li>Re-size, rotate or flip the texture image by using the buttons in the upper right corner</li>
</ol>

<div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Step 5: Border treatment</span></b></div>
<div>
One of the texture layer had a nice ragged border, however, it was not dark enough. You can adjust tonality of the texture file by clicking on the adjustment button and the “Adjust Panel” will appear.</div>

Now, I change the Blend mode for this layer to “Multiply” in order to get the ragged border look. And by using the Eraser brush to remove the yellowish parts that is covering the face. I chose a medium opacity so the transition is much gradual.</div>

Sometimes a blurring part of your photo creates a unique atmosphere or emotion to your photographs. Yes, not everything has to be tact sharp. Further to our previous tutorial on creating the Circular Blur effect, in this tutorial, we will explore the Linear and Brush Tools. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are 3 major types to choose from - Circular, Linear, and Brush. In this tutorial, let’s start with the “Linear” Blur.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl6J_yqcQx4sH2gEcq9uNOxatgatbXkSEbmL13WsHhe4_DJI_kG1kS_oCupAdULT2xWO_bLdkuPlOGvKOXHzBnq0wXwePMq7AVv_4wn05pu2KAcVmmobp-k2Oxv93UtqEVjz1Hc9k6y2In/s1600/Linear+Blur+-Image+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl6J_yqcQx4sH2gEcq9uNOxatgatbXkSEbmL13WsHhe4_DJI_kG1kS_oCupAdULT2xWO_bLdkuPlOGvKOXHzBnq0wXwePMq7AVv_4wn05pu2KAcVmmobp-k2Oxv93UtqEVjz1Hc9k6y2In/s640/Linear+Blur+-Image+2.jpg" width="324" /></a></div>

<div>
The Linear Blur creates a miniature or toy effect one usually gets from an expensive shift-and-tilt lens. When you click on the Linear Blur Tool, a set of gradient lines will appear on your image. The middle section (1) is where the focal will be and this part of the image will remain sharp and intact. The outer areas (2) are the gradient range from being sharp and focused to blurred. Areas outside the gradient lines (3) will be completely blurred and you can adjust the amount of blur using the slider (4).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So, the first step is to decide to focal subject in the picture and adjust where you want to put the blur gradient and adjust the width. In the side panel, there are 2 Blur Type options – Soft focus, and Bokeh. </div>

When applying the Blur effect, there are a couple of helpful tools:</div>
<ol>
<li>A slider to adjust the intensity of the blur effect according to your preferred look.</li>
<li>A convenient check box to hide the gradient lines so you can preview the adjusted photo. </li>
<li>You can also use the “Compare” mode to see the images before and after applying the blur effect.</li>
</ol>

You can also turn the gradient tool to an angle. By mouse-over the center line, an arched arrow will appear indicating you can adjust the angle.</div>

In this tutorial, the aim is to retain focus on the sunflower, and keeping the center sharp. </div>
<ol>
<li>Use this brush to recover focus</li>
<li>Use this eraser brush to blur </li>
<li>Select Fit Edge to apply blur on areas of the photo with similar properties. Check the box to restrict blur effect from on the flower and retain blur in the background.</li>
<li>You can adjust brush size, feather and intensity with these sliders. A quicker way to adjust brush size is by mouse scrolls.</li>

There is a loss of detail due to strong back-lighting and when camera exposes for the brightest part of the background, the foreground subject turns into a silhouette. This can happen photographing any subject - portrait, wildlife, architecture, and so on. Fortunately, this problem can be easily fixed to restore the details and in this tutorial, we will show you how by in a few quick steps using PhotoDirector.<br />
<br />
The sample photo is an image of an owl, as you can see the camera is exposed to retain the color of the sky hence the owl is overly dark.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOGE8eZ0XGKMBYoVlvyxsd_vbTF6jQuUfYFQcsHb-DI90pvFJBdkh0kWMdEkVF5zwTeSBen09CIua_wK6sBWEOjSs8_VdrzQMiYkqrlncRGVUPIXhF4un3LhZTKt27jBg4U0iHKZZXUdHM/s1600/Backlight+-+image+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="346" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOGE8eZ0XGKMBYoVlvyxsd_vbTF6jQuUfYFQcsHb-DI90pvFJBdkh0kWMdEkVF5zwTeSBen09CIua_wK6sBWEOjSs8_VdrzQMiYkqrlncRGVUPIXhF4un3LhZTKt27jBg4U0iHKZZXUdHM/s640/Backlight+-+image+1.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
Simply move the Dark slider to brighten up the owl and darken the Bright. The owl has brighten up yet the color of the sky is retained.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhao5O8QGj5GL2HxeR9d7un9TCMBIc0-6D2mMQOk13PD5amYwX3jQWQXpas4TTVXr0f-S61otlbsMmhpJzcNe5ieU-YAHQb5O3xVWgsXJhY9eBvukEpDkkCTGluVJrNMZUvztYhKpS60A9R/s1600/Backlight+-+Image+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="346" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhao5O8QGj5GL2HxeR9d7un9TCMBIc0-6D2mMQOk13PD5amYwX3jQWQXpas4TTVXr0f-S61otlbsMmhpJzcNe5ieU-YAHQb5O3xVWgsXJhY9eBvukEpDkkCTGluVJrNMZUvztYhKpS60A9R/s640/Backlight+-+Image+2.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
Next, you can add some contrast to the image by adjusting the Contrast and Clarity slider. Clarity brings more definition to the mid-tone areas.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNK9R7lEC47sYlaCej3R7Y12T_bvcNbTmJKIP8P_ng_FFJKhSPFa36N5A7_mF3Hn1eYtAe1pa7cr3_uCIwJT0REhJi3bAkONmlLkXEwqr-Wo9pkmi5bCCuP5CmyGR54UY5IKY83RfrgpKL/s1600/Backlight+-+Image+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="348" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNK9R7lEC47sYlaCej3R7Y12T_bvcNbTmJKIP8P_ng_FFJKhSPFa36N5A7_mF3Hn1eYtAe1pa7cr3_uCIwJT0REhJi3bAkONmlLkXEwqr-Wo9pkmi5bCCuP5CmyGR54UY5IKY83RfrgpKL/s640/Backlight+-+Image+3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Next to sharpen the image even more, use adjust the Sharpen slider.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirAums7X5E5_lzcfibJ1YSyDnRfKZ4YpVzV6r2wwpWeBT2ODgnRIggAvxVA4PNrb-btkIKJpSGmsCEZXdNkZ2Y2D_eXD83oRxoVpxORKnPtBcnDYYHN8vvX6aZZFRhn9Pr71QW-OyHdecG/s1600/Backlight+-+Image+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirAums7X5E5_lzcfibJ1YSyDnRfKZ4YpVzV6r2wwpWeBT2ODgnRIggAvxVA4PNrb-btkIKJpSGmsCEZXdNkZ2Y2D_eXD83oRxoVpxORKnPtBcnDYYHN8vvX6aZZFRhn9Pr71QW-OyHdecG/s400/Backlight+-+Image+4.jpg" width="296" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Use the Edge Mask slider to sharpen on the edge. By pressing down ALT and Edge Masker slider, the image will turn into Black and White. The white parts indicate the edge detected and sharpening will only be applied in those areas.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2HUXp5sr_g5esIQyRoVQ3JluDIvlZSjSODvt2T9KHw7bvmog1HhXkYByQMf1wUIBZXPfkM4HI9je4O_VZByK19B8-xIGqC8sJmmBhLCPZv6KVVdxWO0d_oSMw8tdg1n-TWfDDm4vZ7EKD/s1600/Backlight+-+Image+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="348" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2HUXp5sr_g5esIQyRoVQ3JluDIvlZSjSODvt2T9KHw7bvmog1HhXkYByQMf1wUIBZXPfkM4HI9je4O_VZByK19B8-xIGqC8sJmmBhLCPZv6KVVdxWO0d_oSMw8tdg1n-TWfDDm4vZ7EKD/s640/Backlight+-+Image+5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Next, 2 graduated filters are applied to darken the bottom part of the image. This is done by adjusting the exposure to the graduated filter.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqemhtuh8powtqXJ3Gd2cOTEaPt11CLHhETJR12knnE-SLTdI91oBnaxWObrI0Qi3gy4RnQofxwbivH8kSGSXmblgTfD5WlMq9gHiuJE3ScZ2A-IWRmSwq_vJsvnqgSfiFXQ1kqvuJL9os/s1600/Backlight+-+Image+7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="348" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqemhtuh8powtqXJ3Gd2cOTEaPt11CLHhETJR12knnE-SLTdI91oBnaxWObrI0Qi3gy4RnQofxwbivH8kSGSXmblgTfD5WlMq9gHiuJE3ScZ2A-IWRmSwq_vJsvnqgSfiFXQ1kqvuJL9os/s640/Backlight+-+Image+7.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<br />
and adding a subtle saturation adjustment to Blue when applying the Graduated Filter on the top.<br />

Here are six tips to help you speed up your workflow so you spend more time shooting and less time editing.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1. Pick, reject and rate your photos</span> </span><br />
Often when we come back from a photo shoot, we end up with hundreds if not thousands of images. PhotoDirector offers multiple ways to rate your images – star ratings, color labels and the basic Pick and Reject.<br />
<br />
Start by going through your images a couple of rounds. In the first round, simply use the Pick (S) and Reject (X) shortcut keys. Any photo, you know you will not keep, such as misfires, wrongly exposed, click (X).<br />
<br />
Next filter your photos to display those you have Picked. Now the second run, rate your photos from the not-so-good to the best ones, using the star ratings. Once your photos are rated, it will be easier to filter your images to see only the ones you want to edit.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW_-RUNlq0Y_T5mKQ-cxeB-p1tux_nCBFznE6kxVa2Zu2ZowwbzusTTKwwM-6zOEvAePswEr41QGeDWJZgH-J6sOjTu0nECUWSGATTFMkPNtAYJ3uU64DnAZ8Y8VRaz7IwgGkdG7GYvn-x/s1600/Speed+up+image+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="348" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW_-RUNlq0Y_T5mKQ-cxeB-p1tux_nCBFznE6kxVa2Zu2ZowwbzusTTKwwM-6zOEvAePswEr41QGeDWJZgH-J6sOjTu0nECUWSGATTFMkPNtAYJ3uU64DnAZ8Y8VRaz7IwgGkdG7GYvn-x/s640/Speed+up+image+1.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And you can decide whether you want to remove the rejected ones from the library or even from your storage. While some people never delete an image they’ve shot, I prefer removing rejected photos to help clear the clutter on the interface as well as storage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk49Gu6yZ51LNXjid3LMkv_prXW3Xc_0InYCLDkQymvxvq35F8sMEKNrlMolcXyAcWDWEqN18TdUVYIs3jcAAMqlAPsshgcGUBswM9ebapVXN8yx-205Ik93qMy-NYhLWUGcLGMOXSz4Ch/s1600/Speed+up+image+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="346" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk49Gu6yZ51LNXjid3LMkv_prXW3Xc_0InYCLDkQymvxvq35F8sMEKNrlMolcXyAcWDWEqN18TdUVYIs3jcAAMqlAPsshgcGUBswM9ebapVXN8yx-205Ik93qMy-NYhLWUGcLGMOXSz4Ch/s640/Speed+up+image+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;">2. Compare your photos in groups</span>Often times, we take several photos of the same scene and end up with a series of similar images. And if you are to only pick the best one, it is best to compare them in groups. You can highlight them all and press the Alt+3 to show these images only. Compare these photos side by side helps you decide which one is the best. Or use the subtract method by removing the not so good ones. To drop an image click (-), continue until the best one remains. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIbdCo_dVAr4pdOiPidulKyvQ9xVlOjZ4Lvl0dPooxEuZGPdgjmKOaVR9WyJaxpPj3GV-Y7BW89okIFL1xaDT9BAsb6VQBsiPVTDzWmT8RqDzaGIQjU6qBvgXSiQp5b6Ca24K1tJ9hs26m/s1600/Speed+up+image+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="346" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIbdCo_dVAr4pdOiPidulKyvQ9xVlOjZ4Lvl0dPooxEuZGPdgjmKOaVR9WyJaxpPj3GV-Y7BW89okIFL1xaDT9BAsb6VQBsiPVTDzWmT8RqDzaGIQjU6qBvgXSiQp5b6Ca24K1tJ9hs26m/s640/Speed+up+image+3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;">3. Learn the hotkeys</span>As with any desktop software application, hotkeys are there to help you speed up the workflow. PhotoDirector has a list of hotkeys, you don’t have to remember them all. Just the functions you mostly use and you will remember them by time. </div>
<br />
You can find a complete list of hotkeys in User Manual. Make a print copy of the list as a cheat sheet. Here is the link where you can download the User Manual: <a href="http://www.cyberlink.com/support/product-update.do?locale=en_US">http://www.cyberlink.com/support/product-update.do?locale=en_US</a> <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">4. Create your own presets </span> Applying presets is a quick way to stylize your photos. PhotoDirector comes with a multitude number of presets you can apply immediately. Alternatively, you can modify existing presets or design your own to create your iconic styles. Here is a tutorial that guides you to using presets and creating a new one: <a href="http://www.cyberlink.com/learning/photo/97/using-presets-to-enhance-your-photos-in-photodirector">http://www.cyberlink.com/learning/photo/97/using-presets-to-enhance-your-photos-in-photodirector</a> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNQUQwyIjSNo8ySogcl3FADa_aSM0X9tM_D42Ef09NSA5EChJy4UBYjHCdINpr7eICD3XydNrniOp2UwGI-vL2MmD5zLAIV66uxsLz_zFtAcVFepMMF_wqWNWzKY8S8mZhcX5mY-ZFVAiA/s1600/Speed+up+image+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="348" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNQUQwyIjSNo8ySogcl3FADa_aSM0X9tM_D42Ef09NSA5EChJy4UBYjHCdINpr7eICD3XydNrniOp2UwGI-vL2MmD5zLAIV66uxsLz_zFtAcVFepMMF_wqWNWzKY8S8mZhcX5mY-ZFVAiA/s640/Speed+up+image+4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Note that not only can you save your presets, you can also share it with others on DirectorZone. </div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">5. Apply settings from one photo to others </span><br />
The batch editing feature in PhotoDirector helps save a lot of time. Simply edit one photo and apply those edits to a selected group of images. You can do this by clicking the [copy] button (or CTRL+SHFT+C hotkey) on the edited image. A dialog box will be displayed allowing you to copy only the selected adjustments. Then, select images you want to apply the edits and click on the [paste] button (or CTRL+SHIFT+V hotkey).<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">6.Turn on Hardware Acceleration</span>Enable to speed up the photo export process with OpenCL technology: <br />
<br />
If your computer supports GPU hardware acceleration, make sure the Hardware Acceleration option is turned on. This option speeds up photo export processes by tapping into the multi-core parallel processing power of your computer. To turn on Hardware Acceleration, go to the Preference Menu. <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1BMYHSvOA_LKug4ywijs8P42o9SpUoo2G3GMZ4sW4b8AxYxb20SvyRkiQPPvXsOLUFY8qe5vMkn7CZIwtW7gvcV80lPGdSEwpYql5ZAowbYzSgiBRwyz3h7viOC2zCk1FFkDmoX0KrGot/s1600/Speed+up+image+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="498" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1BMYHSvOA_LKug4ywijs8P42o9SpUoo2G3GMZ4sW4b8AxYxb20SvyRkiQPPvXsOLUFY8qe5vMkn7CZIwtW7gvcV80lPGdSEwpYql5ZAowbYzSgiBRwyz3h7viOC2zCk1FFkDmoX0KrGot/s640/Speed+up+image+6.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
After changing your settings, you will have to restart your computer in order to activate this feature.<br />
<br />
<br />

But are you taking steps to protect your art? If you do not add copyright information to your photos, whenever you share your images digitally, you have no control where it will go and whoever will pick up and reproduce it. So, it is a common practice to include copyright information, allowing others to seek permission from you if they want to use your images.<br />
<br />
In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to add copyright information to the photo’s metadata. Whenever your camera captures an image, it also includes information about the photo, such as ISO setting, shutter speed, aperture setting, camera model, focal length, … etc. in a metadata. This metadata is stored together with the image and you can insert your copyright and contact details into this metadata. So, wherever the image goes, the metadata is attached to it and anyone who wants to use your photos will be able to reach you for permission. <br />
<br />
The metadata doesn’t appear on the image itself and it is only visible by using software that can read the information, such as PhotoDirector. In the Library module in PhotoDirector, there is a Metadata panel that displays the metadata in your images and the panel can be used to add on your copyright and contact information. In this tutorial, we will show you how to do so.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The MetaData Panel consists of 3 parts: EXIF, IPTC and Tags.</div>
<br />
EXIF data are related to how you captured the photo with your camera, such as shutter speed, aperture, ISO settings, camera model, … etc. These information are provided from the camera and you will not be able to modify the content.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The IPTC (International Press Telecommunications Council www.iptc.org) was developed as industry standards for interchange of news data. The data is used to describe ownership of the image, content and others. It was originally developed for use for photojournalists. Nowadays, photographers use this information along with their photos to claim their copyright.</div>
<br />
The IPTC in PhotoDirector consists of 5 sections: Contact, Content, Status, Image and Copyright. The fields you must complete are the Contact and Copyright sections. In the following we will guide you how to complete the fields in each section.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibkc9b93GnvImCSDb0qF51oBs0H1R9QYRmFCKwM6PyZhDDz1E4JbHGAh-k4eGr9NaDhFYuz6wGTKUsbf17mhLF6bB7V7bmzx8DBqyjZ0Kd8WOs_zdW5N6s7j8lgXgR7OOdRKuBf_PKXiL2/s1600/copyright+image+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibkc9b93GnvImCSDb0qF51oBs0H1R9QYRmFCKwM6PyZhDDz1E4JbHGAh-k4eGr9NaDhFYuz6wGTKUsbf17mhLF6bB7V7bmzx8DBqyjZ0Kd8WOs_zdW5N6s7j8lgXgR7OOdRKuBf_PKXiL2/s640/copyright+image+2.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<strong>IPTC Contact</strong><br />
<div>
These are the fields you must fill in, in order to let others reach you should they request permission to use your photograph. Here you will add your name, job title, address, email, phone, and website. Use commas to separate multiple emails or websites. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>The IPTC Copyright</strong></div>
<div>
In the IPTC Copyright field, fill in your copyright text. I usually type “Copyright {Year} {Copyright owner}, all rights reserved. In the Copyright Status box choose “Copyrighted”.</div>
<ul>
<li>In the Rights Usage Terms field, include instructions how the photograph can be used – for example “No reproduction without prior permission”.</li>
<li>In the Copyright Info URL enter website of the copyright owner.</li>
<li>You don’t have to enter Contact and Copyright for each image. Simply select all the images in the Library Module and type in the fields. The metadata will be applied to all selected photos.</li>
</ul>
<div>
</div>
The rest of the IPTC metadata are photo specific, describing content, information of each image. This also means that each field entry is different for each image. Hence, the fields will be filled in one by one. Luckily, we don’t have to fill those information, these metadata are mostly applied in the news industry. They set a standard for the news media ecosystem. If you are interested, there is a complete guide that illustrates the purpose of each field: <a href="https://iptc.org/standards/photo-metadata/">https://iptc.org/standards/photo-metadata/</a><br />
<br />
So next time, you import your images, remember, that the Contact and Copyright fields, are filled in. <br />

PhotoDirector’s Blur Tool is an effective feature to create various effects to your photos. Plus they are extremely easy to use. The Blur Tool is located in the Edit Module. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy5og4Tiej8wyNG-Ws1ohaTRbaJ1CZSx7KlcS5tT3P8ogU67qUA1x_6WY9b2qalOPQZKlZqD9D6WzeSG3O20B2R6r-zhH8L8DKrjSHaMKKSuIrcxUWcyWLeCkUZ0ltEiv6r4LXIxkVu9e5/s1600/Image+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="347" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy5og4Tiej8wyNG-Ws1ohaTRbaJ1CZSx7KlcS5tT3P8ogU67qUA1x_6WY9b2qalOPQZKlZqD9D6WzeSG3O20B2R6r-zhH8L8DKrjSHaMKKSuIrcxUWcyWLeCkUZ0ltEiv6r4LXIxkVu9e5/s640/Image+1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You can choose from Circular, Linear, and Brush (where you brush the area you want to be blurred) types of blur. In this tutorial, I will demonstrate how to apply the Circular Blur Tool and the effects they create on the photos.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ7TPeGBx2U1m2n6jZ3Jh8AUKj82ig06p2C3loMpV6fPpR4zz55ynu9cupcITveOOeIWtGSXDySUZIPSrWZyyhv16yxtUz2AGAVPp6QEPS4Azx1_Y44PlvRgiSjhhz2Jr5MIBI_7v_3O8d/s1600/Image+1-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ7TPeGBx2U1m2n6jZ3Jh8AUKj82ig06p2C3loMpV6fPpR4zz55ynu9cupcITveOOeIWtGSXDySUZIPSrWZyyhv16yxtUz2AGAVPp6QEPS4Azx1_Y44PlvRgiSjhhz2Jr5MIBI_7v_3O8d/s400/Image+1-1.jpg" width="236" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When you click on the Circular Blur Tool, a radial will appear on your image. The inner circle is where the focal will be and this part of the image will remain sharp and intact. The outer circle is the gradient range from being sharp and focused to blurred. Areas outside the circle will be blurred.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRX7XkR2gSNPgAlnH-KntTE2KXISPRwqcqE-d0IPtkra_i3XnRXcS6tYGmHZ_wqH_B7uYtmb6B__OxuqpRsUT4STSTmr4TqBvva9wXzdOdndzLP9HqvlUkweL7aWa6KjeNvsYC6nSUHEIr/s1600/Image+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRX7XkR2gSNPgAlnH-KntTE2KXISPRwqcqE-d0IPtkra_i3XnRXcS6tYGmHZ_wqH_B7uYtmb6B__OxuqpRsUT4STSTmr4TqBvva9wXzdOdndzLP9HqvlUkweL7aWa6KjeNvsYC6nSUHEIr/s640/Image+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, the first step is to decide to focal subject in the picture and adjust the radial location and size. In the side panel, there are 4 Blur Type options – Soft focus, Bokeh, Radial Blur and Focal Zoom. Each type yields to a different look and feel.</div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNAHtGpQ9JMjBN0dJ1XZlNuw0m4xAjFkEUUnyxCmCb_EdI_mtFpWi_-0ixVXZI2XUln9DVVBTFSwE7K2KoN_4rtEZWNh2qLHVywm0dAIAdXUHptI-JL_4kaHMZhlkViOYgPmuxZTrwdCXC/s1600/Image+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNAHtGpQ9JMjBN0dJ1XZlNuw0m4xAjFkEUUnyxCmCb_EdI_mtFpWi_-0ixVXZI2XUln9DVVBTFSwE7K2KoN_4rtEZWNh2qLHVywm0dAIAdXUHptI-JL_4kaHMZhlkViOYgPmuxZTrwdCXC/s400/Image+3.jpg" width="202" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After applying the Blur effect, there are a couple of helpful tools:</div>
1. A slider to adjust the intensity of the blur effect according to your preferred look.<br />
2. A convenient check box to hide the radial indicator so you can preview the adjusted photo. <br />
3. You can also use the “Compare” mode to see the images before and after applying the blur effect.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Soft Focus creates a shallow depth of field look to the image, focusing on just the part you want to emphasize in the photo.</div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzgK5GDSoOar-c3yTPeGDeBhG6tgIqT-leau5r5FqkKpJ-p6XvjtvGL3Rxf7u_r_OxStLitEdBvRP2a_GPwroWFv7v5blgTYfXVJCDSaAVTFhN9B3YruU_70o7wMKv23Q4bOyMvJvuxJ-6/s1600/Image+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="232" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzgK5GDSoOar-c3yTPeGDeBhG6tgIqT-leau5r5FqkKpJ-p6XvjtvGL3Rxf7u_r_OxStLitEdBvRP2a_GPwroWFv7v5blgTYfXVJCDSaAVTFhN9B3YruU_70o7wMKv23Q4bOyMvJvuxJ-6/s640/Image+4.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />

Bokeh simulates a beloved depth and blurry effect rendered by some lenses. It also comes with different bokeh shapes. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
First select a photo in the Library, make sure the photo is not in high-resolution. Because this technique works best for low resolution images no more than 1000 pixels on the long edge. If your photo is in high resolution, you can export a copy in lower resolution.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoBBvlII9Y637cqPiXnvrg6Ntx0j1f3gWDW4wuRkjdJlEKYVg4SOVwuw6YVm5EMMA1H7k-sxs0-3xMJWQo50fR5ott_Tk2_-0DUILtce2iU5zUj1-5zj-kNKMgWcB_4RQt3coyi-SZATyH/s1600/image+01.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoBBvlII9Y637cqPiXnvrg6Ntx0j1f3gWDW4wuRkjdJlEKYVg4SOVwuw6YVm5EMMA1H7k-sxs0-3xMJWQo50fR5ott_Tk2_-0DUILtce2iU5zUj1-5zj-kNKMgWcB_4RQt3coyi-SZATyH/s640/image+01.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Now that you have selected the image, go to the Adjustment module and in the Global Adjustment Tools:<br />
- Set Contrast to 50<br />
- Dark to 100<br />
- Vibrance to 50<br />
- Saturation to 50<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5NALwjdcQWc/VnpI1t14XTI/AAAAAAAABo0/GV_xr47skYs/s1600/image%2B02.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5NALwjdcQWc/VnpI1t14XTI/AAAAAAAABo0/GV_xr47skYs/s640/image%2B02.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
In the Detail section, set Luminance to 100 and Detail to 50.<br />
And there you have the watercolor version of your photo.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eKqeZvMBbMA/VnpJkyo5DaI/AAAAAAAABpA/OX1rHzmAPHY/s1600/image%2B03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="348" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eKqeZvMBbMA/VnpJkyo5DaI/AAAAAAAABpA/OX1rHzmAPHY/s640/image%2B03.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You can make further fine tune adjustment in order to reach the look you want. In this example, I partially selected the background trees and reduce the clarity.</div>

With PhotoDirector Mobile you get lots of tools and effects to spice up your images. But there are a handful of smaller features that are as helpful and mostly overlooked. In this article, we will give each one of them the attention they deserve. After all, they are the ones that give you more control over the look you want in your photos.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
1. Dare to Make Mistakes</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<br />
When it comes to creativity, never be afraid to make mistakes. PhotoDirector Mobile let’s you apply multiple effects and you don’t have to worry what went wrong because the arrow icons let you go back and forward through the history of steps.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
PhotoDirector Mobile features a brush tool, click on it and a set of tools open up that let you adjust effects in fine detail. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgke2QGUKRJB3HGZ6nQW67dvauIFeWvHDSA8HM-OpTur5KF-2Gi-XGQw2bqk6iFftSXg5TodHvXIodan5m-vHyqKdXPW5iUxfaaaD3umjZWy9x6zRRzR3iNLleCsuHMcusmrnlVHlZqqcDK/s1600/2+Selection.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="57" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgke2QGUKRJB3HGZ6nQW67dvauIFeWvHDSA8HM-OpTur5KF-2Gi-XGQw2bqk6iFftSXg5TodHvXIodan5m-vHyqKdXPW5iUxfaaaD3umjZWy9x6zRRzR3iNLleCsuHMcusmrnlVHlZqqcDK/s400/2+Selection.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
In the following, we will use the Effect Tool to describe how to take advantage of the brush tools. First start by importing a photo:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNWJ1mleQTBMdGJXkuUCxGc26lnVlmwD0tdeJvZZzFqher_BkzfDJoKscf_Oes7dzlN8rF_JPWoXsQ5gQw5jtRZbDnZwNcWBSqG9bBL7rVgsy4qAvabnbf4xDuoVZthGNQ12ZLD38vCCP3/s640/2-Screenshot_2015-12-16-16-06-22.jpg" /></div>
<br />
Select an Effect and by clicking on it, the effect will be applied immediately. I liked the way the foliage turned brown but I would like to retain the original color of the water<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirsTzxUqRdGqCg7Et5ROqoSbqEecFoejKZrXlL-VLvpUwdlQaxGKq0if5MUaqXZhHuiPYZM8jnGVMYZ6Ln1Liagio-aDucnLnys9FgRdKJJwFnNDKCY04pzLMyHiH6vtOuAHRkstMv3vFE/s1600/2-Screenshot_2015-12-16-16-06-53.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirsTzxUqRdGqCg7Et5ROqoSbqEecFoejKZrXlL-VLvpUwdlQaxGKq0if5MUaqXZhHuiPYZM8jnGVMYZ6Ln1Liagio-aDucnLnys9FgRdKJJwFnNDKCY04pzLMyHiH6vtOuAHRkstMv3vFE/s640/2-Screenshot_2015-12-16-16-06-53.jpg" width="360" /></a></div>
<br />
Click on the Brush tool on the lower right corner of your photo and the Brush Tools will appear. Use the first icon to brush over the water and the original color reappears. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigIeXuzvbHAHwg-9GNfOzBuBEaFJYpNJenVEYA_-xrCifzwlLw804Ki80fW2_d2xDBNEZkkPsRmnbvAdlg5Atem9jcpOVbfA0-RBPq-dJu2RpGAoMh_SiCLgP-dlV3DMcpQ6rD1bFSTy4U/s1600/2-Screenshot_2015-12-16-16-09-01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigIeXuzvbHAHwg-9GNfOzBuBEaFJYpNJenVEYA_-xrCifzwlLw804Ki80fW2_d2xDBNEZkkPsRmnbvAdlg5Atem9jcpOVbfA0-RBPq-dJu2RpGAoMh_SiCLgP-dlV3DMcpQ6rD1bFSTy4U/s640/2-Screenshot_2015-12-16-16-09-01.jpg" width="360" /></a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As you go into smaller areas, zoom in and change the brush size by clicking on the 3rd icon. A slider will appear to let you change brush size. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
You will notice that I brush into the land where the boy is standing. Never worry about making this kind of mistake. Simply click on the 2nd icon and brush over the area you want to recover the effect.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyq2Q6yGAe4qLOSbylw6sMzoEpj4-3lA23bIUIsyqZUxR1CwWnbSDb5SSq_Is9AtP9uH_9mMi4JCafbA4FWxC6jY6n1_hKq7KIWnYHfD_-AayF7NCjn73Eg3K4jW5QENazLky4vCYCCs8-/s1600/2-Screenshot_2015-12-16-16-09-28.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyq2Q6yGAe4qLOSbylw6sMzoEpj4-3lA23bIUIsyqZUxR1CwWnbSDb5SSq_Is9AtP9uH_9mMi4JCafbA4FWxC6jY6n1_hKq7KIWnYHfD_-AayF7NCjn73Eg3K4jW5QENazLky4vCYCCs8-/s640/2-Screenshot_2015-12-16-16-09-28.jpg" width="360" /></a></div>
<br />
The fourth icon is the inverse tool, which inverts the areas you have brushed over. I sometimes use this tool to check if I have covered all the areas I wanted to brush. As you can see, some bluish area in the water indicates areas that I missed.<br />

With the release of Star Wars Episode 7, the lovable droid BB-8 has become one of this season’s hottest gifts, and has even earned the title “cutest droid in the universe”. <br />
<br />
In spite of all the merchandising, BB-8 <a href="https://www.google.com.tw/search?safe=off&espv=2&biw=1309&bih=701&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=bb-8+hats&oq=bb-8+hats&gs_l=img.3...122522.122978.0.123186.4.4.0.0.0.0.56.183.4.4.0....0...1c.1.64.img..1.3.145.5QSRVKHimAk">hats</a> and <a href="https://www.google.com.tw/search?q=bb-8+purses&safe=off&espv=2&biw=1309&bih=701&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjY2N7Lw-zJAhWjGqYKHa83AO4QsAQIMA">purses</a> might not be your thing. If that’s the case, you might want to create your own BB-8 animation instead. We’ll show you here how easy it is, and you will be wowing your friends with your mad video editing skills in no time.<br />
<br />
Our animation is comprised of just three images and a music track. For the background, we will use a plain desertscape image. Note that you could also use a different background scene like a forest or jungle. For this project we are using a stock desert photo:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfZALDjoglmN8BuHiah_EAy_fPDJL1Z41eERy-14q11OtMHnZK0gsKiQ77yDd5hAcaUgaH69CxGML5KJLwUSj9vRRHeW8mYCwr6RsN2J-dxxabyJzFgs-jJhoPHTaCaXTsDbX_DcaVr3U/s1600/shutterstock_137702858.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="111" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfZALDjoglmN8BuHiah_EAy_fPDJL1Z41eERy-14q11OtMHnZK0gsKiQ77yDd5hAcaUgaH69CxGML5KJLwUSj9vRRHeW8mYCwr6RsN2J-dxxabyJzFgs-jJhoPHTaCaXTsDbX_DcaVr3U/s400/shutterstock_137702858.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then we need an image of BB-8’s body. Find an image in png format with a transparent background.<br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6kLJFGlYfKV5NdadnCfg4tTy9GjMvGaY287aY5X0RQehsidvSXf0ibwljKSJIaqsASj5VtatFVI0a1HJBYALTb4qCiApiidOEaD0ysz5GBouNA9Fa1kx6v47gf0Em2HQ4nJZVxpnSKuU/s1600/body.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6kLJFGlYfKV5NdadnCfg4tTy9GjMvGaY287aY5X0RQehsidvSXf0ibwljKSJIaqsASj5VtatFVI0a1HJBYALTb4qCiApiidOEaD0ysz5GBouNA9Fa1kx6v47gf0Em2HQ4nJZVxpnSKuU/s200/body.png" width="198" /></a></div>
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then import an image of the droid’s head, also in png format with a transparent background:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF1nZj0Ad1owwAN6HTx07nsW7qyLDVt-r04WWATpVMLaC3J0fMARjZO5JnYiayJoBhbodWpHxt5U65iH7dpalaUSKdC3YP-c2HVYwgmJn92Pg4SlC5I_N1WfsuCSHOjeQBgCnk6uCfRrQ/s1600/head.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF1nZj0Ad1owwAN6HTx07nsW7qyLDVt-r04WWATpVMLaC3J0fMARjZO5JnYiayJoBhbodWpHxt5U65iH7dpalaUSKdC3YP-c2HVYwgmJn92Pg4SlC5I_N1WfsuCSHOjeQBgCnk6uCfRrQ/s200/head.png" width="180" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once you have imported the three image files, put them on the timeline as shown below, stretching each one out so that they are all the same length you want your animation to be. Our example is a short clip, about five seconds in length. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWoPsh3tZrILcjYesx7t8kS168FBuo1ojVuuL4hZrBGQhipK5h11FjWNBRKgxhBuNrPB0damQQav6otmE8retKSF4PqAXuC4K8HHJnjtO71HJhYbsvXbxS8zqCK_SM7JZp8TY4p2DednI/s1600/one.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="152" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWoPsh3tZrILcjYesx7t8kS168FBuo1ojVuuL4hZrBGQhipK5h11FjWNBRKgxhBuNrPB0damQQav6otmE8retKSF4PqAXuC4K8HHJnjtO71HJhYbsvXbxS8zqCK_SM7JZp8TY4p2DednI/s320/one.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Resize your background image so that it fills the screen, and then shift the background image to the left, so that there is a space on the right hand side that is about 1/6 of the total width. Save your changes. NOTE: The resize and reposition features are found in the PiP designer, which launches automatically when you double-click an image on the timeline. If you are not familiar with the PiP designer, <a href="http://www.cyberlink.com/learning/video/23/pip-designer-and-masks">this tutorial video</a> from the CyberLink Learning Center will quickly bring you up to speed.</div>

<br />
<div>
Resize and reposition the head and body as shown. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsce9_cI4tDM_iUGv5L02uNTvK1I_tuVl6vCU6rixjY3bmggcz8mNFrTaCAt9eGfnA72ahh4XwHBoBxKbZpcM6wFAagcCWbd0qdfBVr6YTkYXFgiMMzDr_grk6ijZ6jf0dShmpohb544M/s1600/four.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="186" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsce9_cI4tDM_iUGv5L02uNTvK1I_tuVl6vCU6rixjY3bmggcz8mNFrTaCAt9eGfnA72ahh4XwHBoBxKbZpcM6wFAagcCWbd0qdfBVr6YTkYXFgiMMzDr_grk6ijZ6jf0dShmpohb544M/s320/four.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now set the motion path for the body. In the PiP designer window for the body image, click the “Motion” tab, and then select “Custom Paths.” Add a starting keyframe by clicking the diamond on the position line. Drag the slider to the end of the track, and then click the diamond again to add the ending keyframe. Then click on the dot at the center of the image, and drag a path to the right side of the screen as shown. Set the rotation counterclockwise to around 2100 degrees (Note: It is easier to just key the number directly into the field than to try to use the slider bar to set the number.) Tick the box for Motion Blur, and set the blur length to about 1.30 and the blur density to 22. Click “Save,” and then close the PiP designer.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUTGkPi-eQkw5hXH5-TknhSNKOIf1qxGcNKPnCqO45pZsJK9GWz9bcGEZTwXNCCEEiXURibcOtu-YTwHsidGNshhCDuNpnsflEec8EMlx0j3Ja7m2fSqVMndgASFT079X5yEdaeYUsAas/s1600/five.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="230" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUTGkPi-eQkw5hXH5-TknhSNKOIf1qxGcNKPnCqO45pZsJK9GWz9bcGEZTwXNCCEEiXURibcOtu-YTwHsidGNshhCDuNpnsflEec8EMlx0j3Ja7m2fSqVMndgASFT079X5yEdaeYUsAas/s320/five.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Next, use the same steps to add the motion path for the head. However, you will not need to set a rotation. For the motion blur, set the blur length to 1.44, and the blur density to 24.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd8qkkuNP4f_3jw6mmy6BIVd_RvgFHfng1QPuUHV7eBHeqttbwEjqZRDCvyvNmE6G-6LM9O34Db7P7GGXT5oTvPrlAqffy9J4TUqcgokaLv31b0qRvf0RChhaECi77meB6_XiYkd0URoU/s1600/seven.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="229" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd8qkkuNP4f_3jw6mmy6BIVd_RvgFHfng1QPuUHV7eBHeqttbwEjqZRDCvyvNmE6G-6LM9O34Db7P7GGXT5oTvPrlAqffy9J4TUqcgokaLv31b0qRvf0RChhaECi77meB6_XiYkd0URoU/s320/seven.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now you just need to scroll the background in the opposite direction. Open the background image in the PiP editor, and zoom out so that you can see the entire image within the window:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL6EP6wRXLPLfsBFi-DTFkygm02arZtAqJFK3lgwCtWzlg-KnbjArT7YcJDscqgwMJfM07JSyoYRw6pKTnXBXZT5f_dvIN36fiR3Fql_nqro1w9bdjnUbQTBJ6lH9hhakynZB_RQqYi4k/s1600/eight.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="203" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL6EP6wRXLPLfsBFi-DTFkygm02arZtAqJFK3lgwCtWzlg-KnbjArT7YcJDscqgwMJfM07JSyoYRw6pKTnXBXZT5f_dvIN36fiR3Fql_nqro1w9bdjnUbQTBJ6lH9hhakynZB_RQqYi4k/s320/eight.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Set a custom motion, moving the background image to the right until the left side of the image is flush with the left side of the viewing window. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0veNOJEMJkt2Q_FiI4GekxAEkW02doQQh10zLMXJ6mnytS4uDc80w2ghJgTrs-9W5XVPLPtXnjnEDTLX1neZKlxH6dMsshT_bbnjlEnuEjz6ieIa3tYHrAi4kPP_BvYrDyREHtr6vz3I/s1600/nine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0veNOJEMJkt2Q_FiI4GekxAEkW02doQQh10zLMXJ6mnytS4uDc80w2ghJgTrs-9W5XVPLPtXnjnEDTLX1neZKlxH6dMsshT_bbnjlEnuEjz6ieIa3tYHrAi4kPP_BvYrDyREHtr6vz3I/s320/nine.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lastly, if you want to make the movement of BB-8 more realistic, here’s one more trick: Go to Effects, and add a “Quake” effect onto both the body and head by simply dragging and dropping the effect onto the timeline object. This effect will make BB-8 look like he is rolling over rocky ground – with a slight movement-induced shake.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here’s how:</div>
<br />
First pick a few of your best photos to be included in the greeting card. Select a photo for your background. Any image – a landscape, a pattern or abstract will do, but preferably with minimal colors. In this tutorial, We’ve chosen a picture of snowflakes on a frozen river. Select your background image and go to the Layers Module.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIt6VAfc0PHbbC34Mki4yZHbXpNvZJvF0pxeokfcjGZpTB5PuRqNBv5kcPbOy3bzq1rBLrTrCTxgPRQJJGZHEseZEeqtvG3-O3n2Hr9kzrGTFQxyDOdzuOuq_RdDp9JrTJ4j5NiBv8uBdc/s1600/UI-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="347" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIt6VAfc0PHbbC34Mki4yZHbXpNvZJvF0pxeokfcjGZpTB5PuRqNBv5kcPbOy3bzq1rBLrTrCTxgPRQJJGZHEseZEeqtvG3-O3n2Hr9kzrGTFQxyDOdzuOuq_RdDp9JrTJ4j5NiBv8uBdc/s640/UI-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As you can see, this image is somewhat blanched. We can easily create a more cheerful tone by adding a color layer:</div>
1. Add an empty layer<br />
2. Click on the Rectangular Shape Tool and cover the entire area<br />
3. Pick color<br />
4. Color the selection<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1LKoLKxMXw4qzOSbKSRluj9UKPKDYc4ykyKAQJE9sxHt1KOVGm4h9NgGd106KMvRVncjuXc8BIoQkhpU6CauETPixWCBBMNEKsF3xFX-QX1nJZNhiAGXRaTchqedcDsE2F4baKZly9eMP/s1600/UI-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="350" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1LKoLKxMXw4qzOSbKSRluj9UKPKDYc4ykyKAQJE9sxHt1KOVGm4h9NgGd106KMvRVncjuXc8BIoQkhpU6CauETPixWCBBMNEKsF3xFX-QX1nJZNhiAGXRaTchqedcDsE2F4baKZly9eMP/s640/UI-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. Change Blend Mode to Screen. If the tone is too bright, you can dial back the opacity. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLpT2qsAcuJCZUzqO4l5hxckrBPiqOxKp5qcnRFEQ5bmSvPu1tMkjAX4OsuudN1SVbH1qUMraG7hRWDYE5KgO46ZBO_jQy8wJBzlkPwI9AW00Bdqq2qVyM9GKdUddmhujl-mb776Xa5Ols/s1600/UI-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="348" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLpT2qsAcuJCZUzqO4l5hxckrBPiqOxKp5qcnRFEQ5bmSvPu1tMkjAX4OsuudN1SVbH1qUMraG7hRWDYE5KgO46ZBO_jQy8wJBzlkPwI9AW00Bdqq2qVyM9GKdUddmhujl-mb776Xa5Ols/s640/UI-3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the next steps, </div>
1. Click on “Add Photo Layer” to overlay your photos<br />
2. Use the “Pick and Move Tool” to resize, place and rotate images.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicH8LuxDCDbXHdRoTGkY0CetoUmbY84Jbeu_5P1zVdrQ-75U42Flr44-goupV13jXh6akNjvrNgSvOQytgLt-UmY_yWLj6Txetq1eNxaHSDnI5iSs8pmjQqB0GNvgI256BogKhoETRs5PF/s1600/UI-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="346" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicH8LuxDCDbXHdRoTGkY0CetoUmbY84Jbeu_5P1zVdrQ-75U42Flr44-goupV13jXh6akNjvrNgSvOQytgLt-UmY_yWLj6Txetq1eNxaHSDnI5iSs8pmjQqB0GNvgI256BogKhoETRs5PF/s640/UI-4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Make sure to leave some space for your greeting message.</div>
To add text, click on the “Text Tool,” and a text layer will be automatically added. Enter your text and stylize it by changing the font type and size to meet your preferences.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YCj851vytgE/VmlBL6HpbyI/AAAAAAAABgw/6nVzb8NlHmY/s1600/UI-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="346" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YCj851vytgE/VmlBL6HpbyI/AAAAAAAABgw/6nVzb8NlHmY/s640/UI-5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
You can further fine tune photo and text placement by clicking on the layer and using the “Pick and Move” tool. Making a quick greeting card is that easy.<br />

of the most iconic visuals from the Star Wars films is known as the <i>opening crawl</i>. Each film begins with the
same opening sequence, in which the text "A long time ago in a galaxy far,
far away...." is displayed, followed by the Star Wars logo. After the
film's episode number and subtitle are displayed, a three-paragraph introduction
in yellow text scrolls away from the viewer.</span><br />

first Star Wars movie was released in 1977, but this text effect has certainly
stood the test of time. It still looks good even today, and evokes strong
memories for many people. Let’s see how
easy it is to create this text effect with the Title Designer in PowerDirector. </span><br />

a new project in 16:9 aspect ratio. On the first track, insert a black
colorboard from the Media Room and drag it to the desired length of the text
intro. This is not necessary if you plan to keep just a plain black background,
but it will be easy to replace if you want to change the background to a star
field like in the movies, or even use some other kind of image.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 16.8667px;">Drag the text box so that the right, left, and top sides are flush with the side of the preview area. Type or paste your text in the text box. For our example, we’re going to use a slightly modified version of the text from <i>Episode IV, A New Hope</i>. NOTE: The text box will automatically resize to match the line length of your text. So you will need to manually insert line breaks to make the text fit it into the display area.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 16.8667px;">Now select the text box (do not select all of the text as you would do in a word processor) and change the font to <b>News Gothic bold</b>. Change the color to a custom color: Red 229, Green 177, Blue 58. Save your new title template, and add the title to timeline track two. The default font size should be set to 24, and you probably won't need to change that.</span></span><br />

Once you have the text scrolling the way you like it, you can replace the black colorboard with any image. Just make sure you set the image on the timeline to the same length as the scrolling text. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 16.8667px;">Then you just need some music. The original score by John Williams is amazing, but also copyrighted. And not even the awesome power of The Force can overcome Disney’s lawyers. So for this example we will download the free clip “Perc Peds” as our background music from <a href="http://directorzone.cyberlink.com/effect/SOUND#SOUND_297_createtime_0_ALL_WORLDWIDE_thumb_1">DirectorZone</a>.</span></span><br />

In this tutorial, we will take advantage of the Blender tool to fix a white overcast sky and turn it into a bright sunny day.
<br />
<br />
First, capture an image or select a photo and tap the Blender icon.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi12fDh45ThGtY9RvJTm1RvdawwxJb3aKfnblne4QZd_AzdMt74HDQY-Saarzo2zpQGlZTzfAMQNdPveMYfOZQ3XWijQ_xTLaK9KtiF5ZjHB-mGra5zymNfYyWdUVmWHPdja0mcyhtFeC8/s1600/01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi12fDh45ThGtY9RvJTm1RvdawwxJb3aKfnblne4QZd_AzdMt74HDQY-Saarzo2zpQGlZTzfAMQNdPveMYfOZQ3XWijQ_xTLaK9KtiF5ZjHB-mGra5zymNfYyWdUVmWHPdja0mcyhtFeC8/s320/01.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<br />
Next, select the bright sky template and select the "Multiply" blend mode. You will notice some parts of the sky are overlapped with the foreground, making the ground darker in color. This can be fixed using the "Eraser" brush.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEsCp4K0pgx_HckJTdRbrk4dq7-7V_DlagJuWlYblLoHlHsBfSBuK5sOGipaU1iOEecaxZAeaFNz3mky6fF6jcpUs2alDTgNVAPAEKVOnx6OpseU0kLfNvNA5DBjgku9jFy6US4Wk1Jnk/s1600/02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEsCp4K0pgx_HckJTdRbrk4dq7-7V_DlagJuWlYblLoHlHsBfSBuK5sOGipaU1iOEecaxZAeaFNz3mky6fF6jcpUs2alDTgNVAPAEKVOnx6OpseU0kLfNvNA5DBjgku9jFy6US4Wk1Jnk/s320/02.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<br />
Use the "-" brush to clean overlapping areas in the foreground. You can change the brush size to clean away smaller areas such as the tip of the trees. If you mistakenly brush off part of the sky, use the "+" brush to get it back. Once you are done, tap on the Check icon in the upper right corner.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihgTxPih39D5vabj0yrc87UUhpC2cB_59KMeIUA_Py8yWkmUN4QyErjtBy4mwxLuhLT-LbNs8ss9We_Y1ACEr3lTpnHfXhyphenhyphenExZp_uimuchPmmZd1g35Muy3fhk7DXY0Sr0gIfkVHd_PhY/s1600/03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihgTxPih39D5vabj0yrc87UUhpC2cB_59KMeIUA_Py8yWkmUN4QyErjtBy4mwxLuhLT-LbNs8ss9We_Y1ACEr3lTpnHfXhyphenhyphenExZp_uimuchPmmZd1g35Muy3fhk7DXY0Sr0gIfkVHd_PhY/s320/03.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Now, back in the Blender Tool, you can fine tune intensity of the blending effect by using the slider. Adjust until you reach your preferred effect. Once you are done, tap on the Check on the upper right corner.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Multiple exposure portraits can create a special artistic style. Even though it is often hard to achieve the perfect shot with a camera, you can create this effect by using Layers and Blend Modes in PhotoDirector.
First you will need an portrait image and an image to overlay.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">When taking the portrait
photo, make sure it is against a light colored background. It's best to shoot
your portrait against an overcast sky or white wall. Make sure the sky is
overexposed, and keep the face properly exposed. If your portrait cannot be taken against a white background, you can always remove the background using the
Background Removal tool in PhotoDirector. In this tutorial, we will overlay the
images below to create a multiple exposure effect.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

The new Blender in PhotoDirector Mobile is an amazing tool to enhance your photos. Not only does it comes with a beautiful set of images to overlay, and by taking advantage of the blending modes, you can use this powerful tool style your images to completely different look.<br />
<br />
In this tutorial, we will use the Blender to change the sky of the Lighthouse photo to the orange sunset image in PhotoDirector. First open the image and select the "Blender" tool.<br />

<br />
Use the "Brush" Tool to fine tune by erasing overlap areas on the ground. In this case, we left the warm colors over the lighthouse to give it a realistic look. When done, click on the "Check" icon in upper right corner.<br />

With Blender you can easily control blending details when using your own images as overlays.<br />
<br />
In this tutorial, we will demonstrate overlaying a texture in the background without affecting the portrait in the foreground. The texture has a warm color which will also give a warm soft hue to the overall image.<br />
<br />
First capture an image or select a photo from your library and click on the Blender icon.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVNMEsgtM_VsEm9FCq4OU-lbQr6Fms5Rb_M8PE8d34YDwCUOD36XvjN1N-jvl8qIORfDn-wSNvvIwVdIcAhyphenhyphenL6X-R9t8GNjnR0bSnwnUF7hNJlvLQJlyqVMgd2B6qKSNLgSVtMTBMF9PQ/s1600/01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVNMEsgtM_VsEm9FCq4OU-lbQr6Fms5Rb_M8PE8d34YDwCUOD36XvjN1N-jvl8qIORfDn-wSNvvIwVdIcAhyphenhyphenL6X-R9t8GNjnR0bSnwnUF7hNJlvLQJlyqVMgd2B6qKSNLgSVtMTBMF9PQ/s320/01.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Next, click on the "+" icon to select a texture image of your own. Then choose "Softlight". Notice how the texture image covers the entire photo - you can leave it that way. But for this image, we would like the texture removed from the girl's face and body, so the portrait stands out more. The "Brush" icon gives us the ability to further fine tune the image.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWM89HRp4VfA5qn85f8NCrC91VdP6Z2bmH602hP5SmY1NQ2mSUjofDHx0oyskYpDnzQbu1PR3vOcVuSFQ8MtOdllPXIaHA-gEBmT_26xxK_nWtiUkqxnVKJFA25gWtomyQkeJxWAN_Th4/s1600/02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWM89HRp4VfA5qn85f8NCrC91VdP6Z2bmH602hP5SmY1NQ2mSUjofDHx0oyskYpDnzQbu1PR3vOcVuSFQ8MtOdllPXIaHA-gEBmT_26xxK_nWtiUkqxnVKJFA25gWtomyQkeJxWAN_Th4/s320/02.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<br />
Select the "-" icon to remove the texture from the face and body of the girl. If you accidentally remove the texture in the background, you can always use the "+" brush to put it back.<br />
<br />
There is a convenient Before/After icon to check your progress. Simply press and hold to view the original image. Once you are done, click on the Check button on the upper right corner. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Now that you are back to the Blender tool main interface, scroll the slider to select the intensity of the textured look. Go from a subtle to an intense look, it all depends on your personal taste and preference.<br />
<br />

The next couple of steps are to adjust the sky. We want to
have the warm sunset colors behind the Eiffel tower, so we flip the image
using the Flip Tool.</div>

Now, there are a couple of problems to fix. The image of the
sky is bleeding into the bridge and the lower part of the Eiffel Tower. Also, the dark
foreground of the image of the sky is visible. </div>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">
</span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">These can be easily fixed with the Eraser Tool. Make sure
the top layer is selected and use a large sized brush with medium opacity to brush
out the areas mentioned above.</span><br />

When fixing the lower part of the Eiffel Tower, reduce the
size of the brush and lower the opacity. You may need to apply several brushes until you
get it right. If you overdo it, you can always click on the back button to
undo.</div>

Not only does it come with a beautiful set of images to overlay, it offers the flexibility to blend your own images, so that the images you create are unique.<br />
<br />
Double (or multiple) exposure is a popular artistic effect in which two (or more) images are superimposed to create a single image. In this tutorial, we will use the Blender tool to create such an effect. You will need at least 2 images. To get the best result, capture the base image against a white background. You can easily do that by placing your object against a white wall. If it is a portrait, you capture the image against an overcast sky or very bright sky.<br />
<br />
In this tutorial, we will blend an image of a car model and an image of a city skyline taken at night. <br />
The original photo of the car is in color, but it will look cleaner in black and white. The blended night sky image will also be more obvious. So, the first step is to convert the image to black and white using the Effect Tool.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
There are several B&W presets to choose from. Let's choose the one with high contrast. Keep in mind that the darker the color, the more obvious the blended image would be.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Make sure to select the Screen blend mode and position the image where you think it will look best. Also, use the slider to adjust the intensity of the overlay. <br />
The screen mode displays colors that are lighter than the background. Because the car is black, the image of the city is revealed on the car surface. <br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">The new Layers module is a
powerful tool that allows you to do many special editing and compositing with
your images. Plus, with the ability to save your project files in PhotoDirector
proprietary format, you can make further adjustments and editing. First, let's
get a basic understanding of what is a Layer.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Simply put, a Layer is
stacking an image on top of another. Each image is like a transparency layer,
you can adjust, reposition each image without effecting the others. Consider
the following image, it looks like one flat image, but in fact, there are 3
images stacked on top of each other.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">The ballerina photo was taken
in the studio with a black background. Simply change the Blending Mode to
"Lighten" and the black background is removed. This is an easy way to
blend images together. (There is another detailed tutorial to explain more
about the <a href="https://create-n-play.blogspot.com/b/post-preview?token=FyOZGk8BAAA.AzlDJPFrMXtg2rMKgmTSpQ.Gk3lvuwkrCkDXBLbp4B1CQ&postId=4601707925466781456&type=POST" target="_blank">blending modes</a>.) In this scenario, using the "Lighten" mode
is the best option to blend the images.</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">The Lighten mode brings out
any pixel in the background that is lighter than the blended image. In this
scenario, the black studio background is darker than the forest, hence the
studio background is hidden.</span></span></div>

<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">It is a good practice to
rename layers, so once it becomes a long list, it will be easier to find. You
can rename a layer by right-click on the layer or using the "Layer
Option" button. In both situations a drop-down menu would appear, select
the "Rename Layer" and in this tutorial, I will name it
"Ballerina".<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">The following steps are for
refining this image. Firstly, I think the background is too bright and blending
into the image of the ballerina. By selecting the background image and clicking
on the "Adjust Layer" button, a separate window will appear. This
window contains a list of color and tonal adjustments. In this tutorial, I will
only dial back the "Exposure" value.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

darker to my preference, another problem arises - the ground of the studio is
noticeable. Here we can use the brush tool (a small size, lower opacity and
dark color brush), to simply brush over the studio ground and her shadows.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">The Blend modes in PhotoDirector offer added power to Layers. By taking colors of one image and blending it to another image layer, Blend Modes lets you create new effects. There are 14 different types of blend modes, each contains an algorithm to blend color pixels of the base image and the blending image, resulting in different look and feel.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">By default, the blend mode is set to normal, meaning simply one layer is on top of another, by clicking on the drop-down menu, you will find the blend modes grouped into 6 categories. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm3JV_FmtvSfGtql6MfEP1xib_ARcpydf_gkVNcnAJsVhbq942tV9vj3-vxQDMarXTa-a5hVkIA101fgEGWrEOTV2bzC9z2EAK4ZK6FJ5cmuHRfyBg57WD4866Wa4T0D07Q2yeXD5qvLRr/s1600/2015-08-11_00-26-22.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm3JV_FmtvSfGtql6MfEP1xib_ARcpydf_gkVNcnAJsVhbq942tV9vj3-vxQDMarXTa-a5hVkIA101fgEGWrEOTV2bzC9z2EAK4ZK6FJ5cmuHRfyBg57WD4866Wa4T0D07Q2yeXD5qvLRr/s640/2015-08-11_00-26-22.jpg" width="550" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="background: white;">To take the blending modes even further, you can adjust opacity values to decide how strong you want the look to be. </span><span style="background: white; color: #171717;">Adjusting the Opacity slider allows you to blend the active layer (making it translucent) with the base layer, which in turn allow the base layer to see through.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="background: white; color: #171717;">Any changes made using blend modes are non-destructive, you can always readjust your blend mode settings without damaging the pixels in your original image.</span><span style="background: white; color: #171717; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">In the following, we will display the effect of each blending mode using a photo and applying 2 different textured images to help you understand the effect of each blend mode. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
