P&GD 10 Color Enhancer -- great for artists!

[jon404]

Having fun today sketching a copy of that newly discovered Da Vinci pastel, La Bella Principessa. When finished, took a photo, put it into P&GD 10. Oops! An area around the subject's eye was too yellow. Erase and redraw? Oh, no. That new control, Color Enhancer to the rescue. Made a copy to work on, cut out the offending area, used Enhancer to get rid of the yellow (changed it toward blue). Pasted the cutout back onto the original, all done. See below.

P&GD also was a great time saver when I started the drawing. Got a digital copy of Da Vinci's work, flopped it so that all the little ink lines went up and to the right (I'm right-handed, he was left-handed), then desaturated it and made a very light gray printout on card stock, to draw on with my pencils and ink pens. Here, P&GD saves a tremendous amount of layout time. For portraits, that's the part you always get wrong and have to do over. But not anymore. Xara software is great for artists!
