I think this really shows what the "auto level" button has done. I drew this soooo dark but the scan washed it out. I personally think this one looks better than the original. Any views? Thanks for any help guys : ) I appreciate it.

I really enjoy this one - because here you are not afraid to use real darks - which makes the drawing just "pop out" more
GREAT DONE

Much better darker, it suits the pic better. That's is excellent, her eyes ar bewitching and the cat is great, fur is a labour but you've done it brilliantly. Around her hand it looks really soft anf fluffy.

This deffinitely shows up the pencil strokes and contrast better than your earlier one. Beautiful work! Your sketches are really stunning!

ladyshawn In reply to Katied2 [2006-07-07 14:22:06 +0000 UTC]

Thanks again!! I'm sooooo iritated that I didn't do the contrast corector thin earlier. It's how I drew them and they hadn't shown up until I found the little adjuster button. Ahhhh! Well, I know better now : )

Katied2 In reply to ladyshawn [2006-07-08 05:56:41 +0000 UTC]

YOu know you can edit your deviations without uploading a new pic. Just press edit deviation, then picture, then upload the corrected piece with contrast levels you want. It changes the pic but leaves all the rest (coments/description etc) on the page.

Not a problem, It took lots of advice and exploring things to get the hang of this site for me as well. I still haven't figured everything out.
