Hi..
Action set for quick Toon-COmic-Paint styles . Use for Airbrushing starting point .
In some images , STYPUS action can give you nice or smooth Toon without extra works .
Since these actions use intensively Surface blur and Fade Filter Gallery , I doubt
these can work in Photoshop other than CS2 versions . I dont try these set in previous
version , so i can`t guarantee if you use PS7 or even CS 1 .
Like the name , its only tested for pinups or people images not environment .
I`ll be soon post Smooth Toon Environment ones after finished .
STYPUS action set , divide based by two kind Light conditions , while images with
excellent light rig , can pass any actions type . Medium or dark images usually not
give best or nice results if you apply with non Dark action .
Because every images need different setting , I let you ability to edit some parameter .
Try several change in blend mode , filter parameter , colour shifting , etc..
You`ll getting different results in the end . Be creative and Wild !!
If you want full control or build your own , use Try-Trace Editable action .
Feel free to IM me here or mail at juvesatriani@yahoo.com if you need more explanations .
Thanks
Notes :
If you work with close up images , carefully set Surface blur parameter . Watch changes
in nose or eyes . If those area too blurry , sometimes you`ll be end with face changes
problems . But , for images with detail skin pores , you should set parameter high .
Exposure Adjusment should be set to Dark gamma or super Contrast but Avoid over expose .
Change Fade Filter Gallery or Layer blend mode for different results . Overlay , Hardlight
Screen , Linear light ( low opacity ) and Multiply usually give you best results .
Dont be afraid to shifting colours while in Colour balance adjusment step .
You can refine later Or ignore at all .
Use PaintDaub action several times for sharpening Edge paint FX
if you feel final images not strong or sharp enough .
Refine blending between Shadow and Highlight area using smudge and blur tool ( not Filter !!! )
Make Final Adjusment with Level or Curves if need it .
