Working
with Source Images in Studio Artist
[Page 5 of 5]

A
few more things worth noticing: in Studio Artist,
the range of colours available in the colour palette
window extends beyond the edges of the palette itself.
If one clicks and drags beyond an edge, the colour
will continue to shift in relation to the position
the cursor is at, even well beyond the (visible) palette
edges.
Also,
it is possible to select a colour on the fly right
off the canvas image itself, simply by pressing the
"c" key and mousing down (just like a colour
picker in so many other graphics applications).
Finally,
one can modify the brush/tool stroke width by pressing
the "b" key and mousing down on the canvas,
setting a new stroke width size by dragging horizontally:

are 10 images that were made by using the same Source
Images presented above, with a few side trips into "Source
Color" and stroke width size setting: |

I hope this brief
look at a few of the ways with which we can enter Studio Artist
will be of help to some of you. This concludes the presentation
of a very simple process, but one that can really help us
begin to make the most of this amazing tool. Now, imagine
approaching this work by also adding layers, and then entering
animation, the "time" dimension!
I am preparing another tutorial, this time on "Morphing
in Studio Artist," a far more complex process, but a
very rewarding one! |
