PAINTING TUTORIAL INFO
|
 The Graphic programs in the far left column,
particularly Adobe Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro will be the main directive in this painting tutorial.
If you do not have either one of these programs then we suggest trying the Free Trial for Paint Shop Pro. If you have another choice of programs be sure it has alpha masking and layering abilities.
Most of your graphic programs available
today have the same basic concept and format which makes them pretty much relative to each other. The tools and the tool names are 9 times out of 10 exactly the same across the board. The only
changes between each program would be the tools detail precision and the general location of each tool. The best way to get better is using one or maybe two graphic programs. Stick with them
and try to use the full benefits of each tool.
There are over 50 ways to accomplish any idea you may have, the best way is your own. If you make a mistake, don't sweat it. Just mouse up to that command that comes with almost ever program,

Video Monitor Adjustments
If you would like to calibrate your video monitors gamma or color, try by clicking the linked icon below. Be sure to follow close directions. If you feel the slightest unsure then skip this
step completely.
Most graphic programs have their own simple gamma/color adjusters. This pertains usually just to the programs settings. The calibration below is more of a global adjustment for your video monitor
and if done correctly will make a definite improvement overall.
Monitors display colors by exciting phosphors to produce red, green, and blue light. Because these phosphors do not excite equally, they can produce distortions in the brightness, contrast,
and color balance of images. For an example, if a computer reads the lightness value from a photographic image and sends it directly to your monitor, the displayed color will be dimmer than
the original photograph.
To compensate for this non-linearity of phosphor excitation, you can alter the color values sent to your monitor. Use the Monitor Gamma Adjustment to adjust the values.
