FX-COMP/DIF & RESET
There is Nudity on this page. If that Offends you, Hit BACK NOW!

To understand the use of making art with Paint/Reset, you should first read and experiment with Tigerlily's excellent tutorial "The Painted Comp"
If you haven't seen this tutorial yet, I guess I'll see you back here in about a week.


Nyght used these steps: Implode +.3 and then -.3,Comp/Dif (see page 1), with Paint/Reset. Image #2 is an unframed version of her manipulation,
As I looked at her steps I thought she had missed the effects of implode since I thought it only worked if you comped with the image you had immediately before imploding and that the interjection of reset would void the effects of small number, positive & negative implode.
So I retraced her steps trying the image with and without Implode, adding another effect each time. Oh Boy, was I wrong and what a whole new doorway she has opened! As it turns out, all that is voided is the black oval. The neonesque, or extreme highlight effect is still there.



Original


When I compared images 1 & 2, I could see that there was a definate difference in the two of them, but it seemed minor so more experimenting was in order. From here on out, the differences become outstanding!

#2 With Implode

It seems the implode keeps the bg color in check even though, and in spite of the fact we are comping with the B&W original. This is so the opposite of how I thought this worked! Ain't it GREAT???
To each set of examples I will continue to add 1 more effect.

My Favorite for now...

Just added Brightness 80 to #6


This is not limited to reset. It works as well with 2 different images comped together or any other manipulation as far as I know.
