February 15, 2009 at 8:20 pm by emoKid Pixelmator: QuickTip – Easily Enhance Photos

 

 

Download Tutorial (10.2 MB)?

I use this little trick to quickly “enhance” photos for printing.  It won’t work for all pictures, but it’s generally an easy way to make your pictures look awesome with 2 steps.  Simply duplicate the layer, and change the blending mode to overlay.  This will generally make the colors in your photo bolder and provide great print-outs.

Want the pictures from the screencast? Here’s the bee and the bird; sorry, no Wasabi Peas for you…

I know it’s not much, but I hope you find it useful :)





  1. Just come across your podcasts great stuff, hope you keep them up nice and clear and I like the way you quickly go through a re cap by re doing another image.
    Nice One :-)

  3. Pixelmator currently doesn’t support CMYK. Apple provides a utility called “ColorSync Utility” (under Applications/Utilities) that can convert it to CMYK.
    Here’s a page with an intro to ColorSync.

    Just open the image, then click on the second drop down box, and choose “Generic CMYK” (or “Photoshop Default CMYK”) from “Output”
