Wondering...

[Faith]

Hiya http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

I was wondering is there anyway to make color effects like this with Ulead?:

There are several ways to make the same in Ulead.
You can apply different filters, such as "monochrome", "two-colors", "Cool", "warm" etc.

The number of Filters is great....

Yes, you could apply a Style filter (Format, Style) or you could use a Duotone filter to select a light and dark shade of the desired color.

I've written a number of tutorials on duotones, two of which you can find here

On the second tutorial, the images are broken. Unfortunately, I'm on vacation right now and using a laptop to access this bb. I'll fix the broken images when I get home on 7/18.

Well, though our styles are somewhat different between your grafx here and mine, the approach is somewhat the same... in that after you have designed your graphic layout for your web graphic here, then you would copy and paste one more layer at a time, change each to a path and do the filter thing to each layer/path object including some fadeout as well of course all with some transparency with your original as bottom layer with no transparency... or not http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

This is what is so great about PI... the posibilities are pretty much endless given the options to choose from and the dial in variables from there... yikes... almost too much to play with... http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif almost http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Thanks you guys! Helped me a lot! *nods*

But I have another question, what if you wanted to add 'make up' to a black and white picture, how would you go about doing so?

[gidgit]

Hi Faith... this one is pretty easy...

place said b/w image on the canvas... merge it and then select the area you wish to color....
then go into your easypalette>brush gallery>retouch tools>colorize... then simply paint on your "makeup"... to change the color just look up top left and you will see the little color box... left click and change to what have ya, or right click and do an eydropper from some other color source or... you get the picture http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

this is how to colorize b/w photo's etc...

have fun eh... http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I'd just add to that that if you click Mode in the Attributes toolbar while the Colorize Pen is selected, you'll create an editable object. Once you have a paint object, you can erase it or edit its transparency, change the hue and saturation, apply lighting effects, etc. just like any other object. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
