1. Layer: Edge | Negative | Background
Please open the "Gemüse.jpg" from the volume ARTEFFECT:pictures/. Load this picture as brush with
"Pic.->". Then create two new layers. The first should be called Edge, the second Negativ
and the third should be named already as Background.
|
Edge finder: Prewitt
Negative filter: Color |
2. Layer filter
Activate the layer Edge and open then the Edge finder filter. Change it to Color
and Prewitt and execute it. Then change the opacity of this layer to ZERO.
Activate now the layer Negative and open the Negative filter and execute it for color pictures.
For the Background it is necessary to improve the brightness with the Dynamic range
filter. Change the values to Min.=22 and Max.=174. The overlay problem is, that we get a gray-cover in
our picture, we have to deal with. You will get a less contrast of the colors in your picture, depending how much opacity
the single layers have. Try it by yourself with layer 2 and 3.

3. Layer reduction
Now copy the third layer per drag & drop onto the second layer with an opacity of 50 for the second
layer. We compansate the gray-cover with the Color correction filter, so please open it.
Change the values to:
| Function |
Value |
| Brightness |
18 |
| Contrast |
104 |
| Gamma |
-9 |
| Red |
13 |
| Green |
8 |
| Blue |
-8 |
You can also try other values, but this one are acceptable.

4. Overlay
Now to the "Overlay". You have done it before - sure. Only a few minutes ago. Now we have to change the
opacity of the first layer to a value between 60 and 80. The only problem left is, that the layer Edge
is to dark. We have to lighten it. For this open the Dynamic range filter again and change the
values to Min.=0 and Max.=26. Now you can see, that the first layer is much better to see in the picture.
That was it...
