Week 2
Darkroom Apprentice Journeyman Master Vectors PSP8 PSP8 - Moving Up Butterfly Bark Painting

Terry Grogan

This was an interesting week.  I never played with any of the red eye removal features in PSP before other than the auto feature.  I've also never tried a panorama image before, so I had fun with both this week.

As far as red eye removal, I'm not impressed much with Photo Album.  The One Step does "Ok" on human eyes, and terrible on animal eyes.  I found the red eye brush to be too severe on human eyes, but it did a decent enough job on animal eyes.  With PSP, I really like the auto human eye feature.  I used the freehand pupil outline. I liked the job it did, though I had a problem with the cat in the back.  I never got the eyes looking natural.

Here's the image with redeye

This photo was corrected using Photo Album Quick Fix. Too bad I can't change the color.

This Photo was corrected used PSP Auto Human Eye.  Here the eyes are the proper shade of blue.

Ok, here's a picture of me taken in 1960

This one is fixed with Photo Album Quick Fix. It doesn't look that bad (at least it's better than the original)

This one is fixed with PSP Auto Human Eye. For some reason, it has just a bit too much blue.

Here are the cats.  The eyes are terrible.

This is Photo Album using the brush.  The back cat actually has better eyes than the front one in this picture.

This is PSP using the freehand pupil outline. The front cat came out pretty nice.  The back cat's eyes aren't as natural as I'd like.

This is the new puppy. Again the eyes look terrible.

This is with the Photo Album redeye brush. It looks better than the PSP version, I think.

This is with PSP, freehand pupil outline. While it looks fine, I actually like the Photo Album version better.
