(Paint Lab)


The "Paint image Lab" is a Lab with many functions for general graphic retouching and special functions for anaglyphs and three-dimensional images.

With “Paint” it is possible to remove parts of the images, to deepen the details, to attenuate or to accent the colours, to improve the aspects, to control the ghosts and clone areas.

Paint LAB operates with the same method and the same ease of use that is common to every Lab of 3D Gugle, "with the left button of the mouse you draw and with the right button you restore".

Many of this laboratory's functions and controls are described in the Tutorial of "Direct Anaglyph" LAB.

Menu

To activate the "Paint" Lab from the menu Image, select "Special Functions" and then "Paint".

In the "Paint" environment, the previous menus are replaced with others relevant to the new work.  

"Menu Intensity"
This menu controls the transparency of the colour mixture.
If the value is the Maximum (10) you can deform or move graphic objects in the image.

Deformation, the original is the left

To move small objects drag the object to the new position and then cancel the trace with the right mouse button.

 

"Menu Mode"

The "Red" way and the "Cyan" way are particularly suitable for retouching anaglyphs because they operate only on the selected colours.
These two options are normally used after the 2D to 3D conversion from "Direct Anaglyph" LAB to clean the errors.

In the following example the red colour has been weakened in the underlined points: To the left is the original image.


 

The "All" way operates simultaneously on all the colours.

In general this function as well as being used for photographic retouching can, when necessary, help you to reconstruct or to remove details in the images.

Example before the retouch

Example after the retouch


 

The "Paint colour" melts and unites a fixed colour to the image colours.
The fixed colour is selected from the “Colour” menu.

The "Fixed colour" adds a fixed colour. The colour is selected from the "Colour" menu.

The "Dark" and "Bright" function darken and clear the area drawn with the mouse.

In "Paint" there are two functions for cloning "Clone" and "Clone Layer".

Both "Clone" and "Clone Layer" operate in the directional way. The difference is that "Clone Layer" is an intelligent device that only fills the empty areas without straying into other areas.

The two tools are in the menu "Mode".
To change the clone direction, use the arrow keys.

To understand the clone method, see the following scheme.

The whole circle represents the circle of the cursor, the arrow origin is the area used as origin while the other part of the circle is the area of the cloning destination.
The direction of the arrows also represents the arrow key used to change the direction of cloning.

For instance, in the position "Left to Right" (from left to the right) the clone function is illustrated below.

When you press the arrow keys to change the clone direction, in the main bar of 3D Gugle you see the clone mode information.

With right-click it is always possible to restore the cloned area.
The clone function also operates by simply clicking with the mouse and it is not necessary to drag or move.

By varying the direction of clone and cursor diameters, these two tools will allow you to easily resolve most of the filling problems.
