1. Menu/ Open a color image file. I
suggest you to pick out your favorite movie
star photo in Google and save it to your
computer. Large photos are better (my
Angelina is a 1024x768 pixels JPG image).
2. Duplicate the image by clicking on
the photo object: right click button
/duplicate selected or by dragging image
object (layer) to the icon “New Object” at
the bottom of the object palette and drop it
there.
3. Go to Menu/Adjust/Desaturate and
turn your photo into Gray Scale mode.
4. Apply Menu/Image/Transform/
Threshold (Umbral).
Copy this image for your practice (191 KB 1024x768 pixels) RGB Channels
A blanco Threshold: 137
Automatic Nivel Superior: 255
5. Select every grey area in the image using
Magic Wand tool (W) this is upon your
taste (try obtaining three areas at least) use
pressing Ctrl key or Shift key for removing
or adding selecting areas interchangeably.
When detailing for a better whole grey
well- selected area use Mask brush tool
instead of Magic Wand.
WARNING: Don’t forget to create
a new object (layer) for every gray area
6. Use Zoom tool (Z) on selection area : left
click (zoom in) and right click (zoom out)
Mask Brush tool (B) can be customize upon your selecting needs to resize selection brush
instantly by keeping pressing Alt key and slightly dragging the mouse forward or
backward for increasing or decreasing the size brush.

7. After you get
a whole grey area
selected you must
create a new object
and paint it using
Fill tool (F) “paint
bucket” right
clicking on one
color in the color
palette.
Use the dropper tool if you need some specific color you are not using anymore but
you want to restore it to apply it again at some new color selection area, it is necessary
to focus in the color area where the object´s been already painted and then by clicking
only once: left click for frontal color (Paint Tool) and right click (Fill Tool).
8. If it happens that you see some pixels not painted as little
holes allowing seeing through them the background I
recommend you to create a new object (layer) and paint it
according to your harmony composition gamut to fill these
spaces to get a cute visual final outcome (Objeto 8).
Object Palette
5 Gray area objects + 1 gray image
object + 1 original color photo
background+1 "blank spaces" fill layer
