Removing part of an Image in ACDSee Pro 2
Connie February 24th, 2008
I always enjoy questions for how to do something. It means that I get to write a tutorial! Someone asked in ACDSee Product Forums if it was possible to erase the tongue on this tiger. The forums are very active & a great place to ask questions!
These instructions will work in both ACDSee Pro 2 and ACDSee 10.
1. In ACDSee double click on the thumbnail. Under Edit Image (the pain palette icon), choose Edit Mode
2. Choose Photo Repair on the left.
3. Plan what you want to remove & what color that you’re going to replace it with.
My plan is to use:
a. the Clone tool to make the inside part of the mouth black
b. the Heal tool to replace the chin where the tongue hangs over it
4. First we’ll choose the Clone tool & make the nib (like a pen tip) a higher number so we can cover more area quickly. And we’re going to reduce the feathering.
Next I selected the color black in the photo by right clicking on it (step 2 in the diagram)
Then I brush in small strokes. The Undo button is your friend here (bottom left). Use it when you need to!
5. To work around the front teeth, zoom in using the slider on the top right.
This will allow you to carefully move your nib close to the teeth without removing them.
And I drew a line across where I will add back the chin.
6. My next step was to clone across the chin.
7. They are really circles now & I’ll use the Heal tool & increase the feathering to blend them together to look more natural.
8. The last step is to use the Clone tool to remove the tip of the tongue and then use the Heal tool.
I made sure to choose the dark color fur around the chin and also some whiskers for a natural look.
9. Click on Done. And the finished photo looks pretty good!
If you’re wondering how to do something creative in an ACDSee product, please let me know.
