![]() ![]() In this particular case, if you need only the positive of the stencil, break all the black (after you cut the black out no whites will fall out as well). By using eraser or brush you have to break some lines and areas. If you have a wish to make edges a bit smoother use Menu > Effects > Blur > Gaussian Blur, and then repeat contrast procedure again and again untill you get really B&W picture. Set contrast to max and try to play with brightness. But first erase everything you don’t need (I used eraser tool)Īnd now we actually start making a stencil using a tool “ Brightness/Contrast/Intensity“. Do not be scared of stains and lower contrast (it is going to be fixed later). To fix this we use tool “ Local Equalization“. Next step is needed if picture has different local lightness. ![]() If you make the right choice for the levels the output picture will be B&W. But for our case exposure is good so we set R50, G0, R100 (sum of 150).ĭon’t forget to set these values for every “ Output Channel“. Actually, if we don’t want to over expose the picture, the sum of channels has to be 100 (R30, G0, B70). The green channel is not important at all and blue channel gives our picture a good contrast. In this case I would say the red channel dominates. For every picture it is going to be different depending on colorization. Actually we need to set RGB the right way. If our picture has low contrast and misses the Black and White, this will help us to set the colours in full range from black to white.ĭesaturation can be easy if you just use Desaturate tool but we can use something better that can help not just desaturate the photo but also raise some of colour levels. So open your image in CorelPhotoPaint and head to Menu > Adjust > Contrast Enhancement (Levels in older version). As image I’m going to use a photo of Milla Jovovich (she is not just a good actress but good singer and fine model )). I’m going to stay with Corel for the process (Corel has bitmap editor too). Even though I have said we need CorelDraw because it is a vector editor, most of the steps are done in bitmap editor.īTW, if on your computer, pictures in this tutorial look blurred, click on them :) Which one you’re going to use, doesn’t matter as CorelPhotoPaint, Photoshop or maybe Gimp have similar tools (they just may be under different menu or called slightly different name). ![]() ![]() Well, if we want to make the stencil of a photo you need to use a bitmap editor first to prepare it for a vector editor.
