of water and beach merge with one-another in a smooth gradation. Once you achieve this,
the relevant portion of the image should look like <img src="bmdoc223.jpg" alt="Beach &amp; Surf border after smoothing" WIDTH="241" HEIGHT="53"> (compare to the above insert). This is the
right look, and should take just a couple of side-to-side movements of the brush as
described above.</font></p>

<p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2" color="#FF0000">Caution: When
rendering in &quot;layered&quot; mode ('layer' option checked), remember this:
if you let go of the left mouse button then re-start layering over the same area
again, you
will end-up getting 'stronger' colors. To avoid this, complete a layer/ merge
operation in one pass.&nbsp;</font></p>

<p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">Now we will try and brighten-up the sky a
little bit. How about a &quot;sunset&quot; look? Select the <strong>&quot;Select
Paint&quot; </strong>tool as you did above, then pick the <strong>Sky -&gt; Sunrise/ set </strong>colour
scheme from the popup menu. Now, click on the <strong>&quot;Overwrite&quot; </strong>and<strong>
&quot;Layered&quot;</strong> checkboxes on the &quot;Tools&quot; menu, so that these are
both in the &quot;checked&quot; state (Checking the &quot;Overwrite&quot; box gives
permission to the &quot;Select Paint&quot; tool to modify any colour schemes it
encounters; Checking the &quot;Layered&quot; box tells it to modify through
&quot;Layering&quot; on top of existing colour schemes rather than &quot;Overwriting&quot;
these). Finally, locate the &quot;Pressure&quot; control below the image (in the image
window), and change its value to &quot;-1&quot;; this tells the tool to modify the default
pressure with which it applies colours, and use a 'softer' touch.</font></p>

<p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">With these settings in place, colour the sky
as you did before, by dragging and drawing a rectangular region around the sky; the sky
colour should now look as <img src="bmdoc224.jpg" alt="Rendered sky after layering (once) with the &quot;sun-rise/ set&quot; colour scheme" WIDTH="206" HEIGHT="78">.
You can layer any colour scheme, on top of any other, any number of times, and with
varying degrees of pressure, to get a variety of effects. For example, keeping the
settings exactly as before, if you repeat the sky colouring operation as above, you should
now have an image that looks like the one below:</font></p>

<p align="center"><font face="Arial" size="2"><img src="bmdoc229.jpg" alt="Colorized &quot;Surf&quot; sample image" WIDTH="315" HEIGHT="375"></font></p>

<p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">As colour preferences are subjective,
experiment till you get the look that's just right for you; as long as you remember the
simple rules described above, you can't go wrong in BlackMagic. Colouring the image as
above, from start to finish, should take only a couple of minutes.</font></p>

<p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">More advanced colourizing techniques are
discussed in later sections, and the <font color="#0059B3"><a href="bmdoc3.html" target="_self">Operations, Tools &amp; Palettes Reference</a></font> section provides a
full and exhaustive discussion of all BlackMagic capabilities.</font></p>

<p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">Let us now colour another sample image that
will demonstrate the use of the &quot;Magic-touch Paint&quot; tool; clear the above image,
then load &quot;Fortress.jpg&quot; (or Fortress.bmp) from the samples directory, as you
did the above image. This is what the image looks like (without the markings, scaled down)
when you begin (below-left), and when you have colourized it (below right). Total effort:
under 2 minutes, and a few mouse operations.</font></p>

<p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><img src="bmdoc2211.jpg" alt="Original &quot;Fortress&quot; image with markers" WIDTH="381" HEIGHT="284">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="bmdoc2212.jpg" alt="Colourized &quot;Fortress&quot; image" WIDTH="381" HEIGHT="284"></font></p>

<p align="left"><strong><font face="Arial" size="2">Let us begin.</font></strong></p>

<p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">First, select the &quot;Magic
Touch-paint&quot; tool from the &quot;Tools&quot; bar by clicking on the (<img src="bmdoc2213.jpg" alt="&quot;Magic Touch-paint&quot; tool button" WIDTH="32" HEIGHT="31">) button; then, make
sure that the &quot;Overwrite&quot; and &quot;Layered&quot; options (to the right) for
this tool are both checked.</font></p>

<p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">Now pick the object type from the popup menu
by right clicking on the image, then selecting &quot;Sky -&gt; Clear [Day <u>1</u>]&quot;.</font></p>

<p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">Click just once (left mouse button) on the top
part of the image (lightest part of the sky), approximately where the reference point
&quot;A&quot; is shown (above-left), then wait until the progress dialog disappears. You
will see the sky turn a slight shade of blue, though not enough. To make it the right blue
shade, click in the same area again, and then again after the progress dialog disappears
(retaining the original colour/ tool settings); essentially, you are layering the sky blue
colours on top of each other; each time you repeat this, the colours become a touch
brighter.</font></p>

<p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">Now pick the &quot;Earth -&gt; Light&quot;
colour scheme, then click once on the 'lightest' part of the fortress (approximately in
the area marked &quot;B&quot;) - wait until the progress dialog disappears.</font></p>

<p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">Now pick the &quot;Bush [Greens] -&gt;
Summer&quot; colour category from the popup menu, then click once on the darkest part of
the image (towards the bottom, approximately in the area marked &quot;C&quot;).</font></p>

<p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">To finish-up, change the value in the
&quot;Pressure&quot; edit box in the Image Window down to a value of &quot;-2&quot; (to
layer with a soft-touch); pick the colour category &quot;Earth -&gt; Dark&quot; from the
popup menu by right clicking on the image; then change the tool to &quot;Smart
Paint-brush&quot; by clicking on the (<img src="bmdoc222.jpg" alt="&quot;Smart Brush&quot; tool button" WIDTH="37" HEIGHT="33">) button. Now carefully drag the brush (move
while holding down the left mouse button) across the fortress (remember, the
&quot;Layered&quot; checkbox should be in 'checked' state). This will make the fortress a
darker shade as shown in the finished picture above.</font></p>

<p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">Thats it. At any time if you do something
wrong, you can also restore parts of the image to their original state by using
&quot;Un-do&quot; button, or the combination of the &quot;Smart Paint-brush&quot; tool and
the Eraser (<img src="bmdoc2214.jpg" alt="&quot;Eraser&quot; tool button" WIDTH="32" HEIGHT="31">). If you like,
you can layer different shades of green on to the bush areas selectively, and may be layer
a shade of 'red' on to the sky - experiment to get the look that's just right for you. The
purpose of this tutorial is only to familiarize you with the basic BlackMagic operations. </font></p>
