Image Arithmetic in PSP HootyTut Paint Shop Pro tutorial

Note: Whichever one is activated when you use the arithmetic function will retain it's original size. The other graphic will adopt the same size when the are combined.

Image/Arithmetic

Use these settings this time.

Example of images combined.

Cool result but I didn't want flames showing on her

leg and the water color was dominant going up to

the fireplace and I didn't really like that either.

So I closed out the result and went back in.

Image/Arithmetic

This time I chose the same original settings but instead

of choosing ADD, I chose LIGHTEST!

This option will show the lightest areas between each

individual graphic when they are combined!

Lightest result shown.

Well this was much better but there was still the two

problem areas showing. the water and fire on the leg.

This time I left this image open for reference and I

used the spray paint with the foreground set on

the color Black, solid color.

I worked on both of my original images spraying the

unwanted areas with the black .

On the fireplace image I sprayed all along the

bottom section, looking at the last combined image

for guidance and covered all the areas that were

showing up on her legs.

Painting completed shown below:

On the Image shown above I sprayed out most

of the water and dock that I didn't want showing.

Then once again I went back to Image/Arithmetic

and chose the same original settings but with

LIGHTER chosen.

The end result is shown below!

True I could have even cleaned it up better than I did but I think I have good enough for you to understand this technique that is readily available in PSP and is

seldom mentioned or talked about!

IT IS JUST SO KEWL!
