PaintBuster Tutorial 3: Photo Enhancement and Manipulation.

Requires a bit of work, but easy done.

Original

 

First, the dark photo was tuned. I used 20% Brightness, 15% Highlight and 25% Sunlight.

 

 

 
Then I sharpened the photo 10%.

The real job was removing the hand, but that was also quite easy.
To remove the hand, I used the clone pen, as the zoomed up illustration shows.

The red circle marks the clone position and the arrow marks the paint position and direction.

As can be seen in the previous illustration, the clone pen often leaves more or less unwanted edges, but using the blend brush I smoothed out those edges.
After having removed the hand,
I made an accurate clip of the boy.
Finally the clip was pasted to a new background..
