Applying the Dye Concentration effect

You can adjust the dye concentration in an image to control color intensity and play with surface texture. For example, use this effect to lighten an underexposed photo or to darken an overexposed one. You need to choose a method for applying the effect. Some methods, such as Paper, generate more texture than other methods, such as Uniform Color. There are five different methods for applying dye concentration:

To uniformly adjust dye concentration Back to Top
To adjust dye concentration using image luminance Back to Top
To adjust dye concentration using paper luminance Back to Top
To adjust dye concentration using clone source or pattern luminance Back to Top

 

In the Clone Source panel (Window Clone Source), choose Embedded Image from the Source list box.
In the Embed Source Image dialog box, do one of the following:
Choose Window Media Panels Patterns, and click a pattern swatch in the Painter Patterns area.
To adjust dye concentration using a layer mask or alpha channel Back to Top
Dye Concentration controls Back to Top
