Question hello Sir!
My name is Dhan and i come from Singapore.
I would just like to ask, how can i add a little eyebrow to a picture w/o making it look fancy?
Am using Corel Draw 12.
Thank you for reading this and thanks in advance.
regards.
Answer In CorelDraw, you might be stuck with using an image hose or the equivalent. Choose a small element, like a blade of grass, and pick the correct color. Then paint over the area using a low opacity on a blank layer.
I don't know if CorelDraw supports blend modes, but if so, you might check into that to help keep the image looking natural. Alternatively, you might be able to cut and paste in an eyebrow from another picture. Again, I don't know how Corel handles this in the vector application.
Since I don't use Corel products any longer, I don't know enough about them to give you specific instructions. Consider going to a Corel forum or discussion board and asking for direct help there. Alternatively, check the help files for cloning, image hose, and blending. That should give you enough to get going.
As with any retouching, try to work only on a copy, and then work non-destructively on layers whenever possible. This will allow you to go backward or start over if necessary, without damaging the original image.
