Windows Forum / Windows XP / Photos / December 2007Digital Image suite 10
I just bought DIS10. I take pictures of a number of people who wear eyeglasses. Sometimes I get a glare and wonder if there is a way to reduce this glare? If not in this program is there a program which can do this for me.  SignatureThank you. Removing the glare would only leave a blank space because there are no layers in the image. The best result for me has been to use the Clone Brush to repair the washed out areas. The Clone Brush is basically a copy and paste tool. (Find it at: Touchup / Clone Brush) What you have to do is zoom in on the portion of the project you wish to repair and after adjusting your brush size, you position the crosshair (cursor) on an area that has color/texture that will blend the unwanted portion.Then you left click to (copy). Next you place the circle (cursor) over the damage and left click (paste). Now you press your "e" key to reset the tool. Copy / Paste / Reset...on and on... until you have the blending done to your satisfaction. It requires patience and practice but can produce a nice result. SignatureJohn Inzer MS Picture It!

I have Picture It Publishing, Silver Edition which I have enjoyed using, but thought I'd buy something more up to date, hence the Digital Image Suuite 10 purchase. It seems that I clicked on the glasses and the glare was greatly reduced.

Testing with the folks looking a little down or to the side or both will remove glare which is a little faster than having to edit / touchup your photos.

I hope this is the right thread but I too have been using PictureIT for many years and recently upgraded to Microshade Digital Image Suite Anniversary Edition. One thing I really miss is the ability to paint over the main image and create a separate layer which I can then blur, fade, etc. The MDISAE doesn't seem to do this readily. I got it working once, quite by accident, but I can't remember or repeat what I did. I now find that I have to use both programmes to produce the effects that I want. Shame > I just bought DIS10.

Then your handles will appear. If you are saying you would like to add a second copy of the original picture...try the following... Once you have the picture unlocked...type... Ctrl+D to place a second copy on top of the original. You will see both in the stack. Anyway...I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to accomplish but maybe the tutorials at the following sites will be useful. Also...search the DIS help files for: "Advanced Photo Editing Tutorial" Enhance and fix your pictures with Digital Image Suite 2006 http://tinyurl.com/7lmdo Mary's Graphics (Picture It! / Digital Image Pro tutorials) http://www.marysgraphics.com/picit.html Scrapbook-Bytes http://www.scrapbook-bytes.com/ http://www.scrapbook-bytes.com/a-tuts/publish/cat_index_25.shtml DIP Divas http://www.dipdivas.blogspot.com/ kimlizzy's Digital Image Pro Tutorials http://www.members.iinet.net.au/~kimlizzy/ SignatureJohn Inzer MS Picture It! - Digital Image MVP Digital Image Highlights and FAQs http://support.microsoft.com/ph/695 Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk John, thank you for replying. Sorry I didn't acknowledge before but I've only just seen your reply. The Notification system doesn't seem to be working - surprise, surprise. What I am doing is quite useful for adding colour to a specific part only of a photo or drawing. Under PictureIt, just by painting over part of a photo, a separate layer, containing only those brushstrokes was automatically created. You could then move it, tilt it, fade it, etc. With Image Suite, you first have to mark out the area using the specific tool, then go into Edit and select Duplicate. You then get the same sort of layer markers as you used to get with PictureIt. You can then carry on with your paint, move, etc - a bit long-winded! I do wish manufacturers wouldn't keep 'improving' their products! I will try the tutorials you have very kindly identified. BTW I see that, after persuading me to buy it, MS have now ceased support on Digital Image. Why on earth do MS, when they have actually created something good, decide to drop it? The classic example was the Sidewinder 2 Force Feed Joystick which, in my opinion, still is the best joystick ever made. It is now a collector's item! > > I hope this is the right thread but I too have been using PictureIT > > for many years and recently upgraded to Microshade Digital Image [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] > kimlizzy's Digital Image Pro Tutorials > http://www.members.iinet.net.au/~kimlizzy/ > John, thank you for replying.

Try the following as a work around. As I mentioned...you can layer another copy of an image by selecting it and type Ctrl+D. Then go to...Effects / Transparency / Even...drag the slider to 100% / Done. Now go to...Effects / Paintbrush / Freehand... make a stroke on the picture / Done. Surprise... there's your editable layer. ======================================= > BTW I see that, after persuading me to buy it, MS have now ceased > support on Digital Image.

As for support...DIS2006 is covered until 10/12/2010.
