Edit Out Instructions
Make sure you bookmark the page PIXLR E because you are will be using it a lot for the next couple of weeks.
Save the Class Image on the left, open in PIXLR E
Use this link to go to the Students Files folder and make yourself a copy of Edit it Out.
Locate OPEN IMAGE and select Full HD and click Apply
Find the Heal Tool over on the left. The icon looks like a band-aid. (Keyboard Short Cut H)
Resize the brush with the , and . keys to change the size of the brush. The goal is for your circle tool to be the same size as the imperfections or blemishes that you wish to edit out of the image.
Click to paint over that small area and a little bit outside of the blemish.
When you let go, the program will match surrounding pixels to mostly edit out the blemish.
You are now going to resize your heal tool and click on each of the pimples and blemishes. Don't slide over and try to paint.
Continue with each small, highly noticeable blemish.
When you have most or all gone, then use a larger brush to smooth the entire cheek, forehead, etc.
Your goal is to try and get your image to match the one on the other side marked EXAMPLE (but you will not put the words EXAMPLE on your side).
Go up to the File Tab and select Save. Set your File Type to PXD and Click DOWNLOAD. The PXD file can then be opened up later and you can continue to work.
Finished?
Go to File and Save. Select JPG and click DOWNLOAD. The image will download to your computer and then you will need to hand it in.
