At the end of last blog post I complained about bad ligthing. Well, natural one isn’t much better, neither.

Left: The image I started with.

Now, First thing is a small rotation, so I made a new layer and drew a white line at about middle of the bottom edge of the paper at 180 degree angle. That I used to make it sure it will get correctly lined. Then using rotate and move tool I moved the picture above the white line at correct rotation. I selected the part bellow white line on it’s layer and then on main layer just deleted that area and deleted layer with the line.

Also to note is that there’s a lot of noise on the image, luckily there’s this nice tool called “Noise removal”. After that I selected a nice area (included a lot of transparenticity bellow image and chopped some off at top, It’s going to be white anyway)

Finally I used Pencil Sketch to make it a bit nicer. Suprised of how good it looked with Pencil Sketch, I might start drawing images myself and then use Pencil Sketch on it.
