I have found that one tool that helps me a lot in smoothing away unsightly blemishes or other attributes, is the healing brush tool. You will see a tool bar on the left side, and in that tool bar there should be an icon in the shape of a bandaid. Right click on it, and make sure it is on the tool that says healing brush. You will see like a circle with a cross in the middle…you click on the part that looks good, say a piece of clear skin, and then press alt while you are holding down the mouse. Then you move it over the pimple or whatever you want to hide by just clicking (no alt key) and then it will be gone. If this does not turn out the way you want it to, you can always go the the history and go back to your last step, or press control Z. Other good tools are the Dodge tool and the burn tool. These are also located on the tool bar, and I believe the symbol is kind of like a line connected to some sort of ball. You can right click on that as well to get the tool you desire. The dodge tool makes things lighter and brighter, which could help if you have a dark pimple or something else you don’t want people to see. The Burn tool makes things look darker, which could help if you are carrying a little extra weight and want to create shadows to give off the illusion of being skinnier than you actually are. For both of these tools you just click and the area you click on will become either lighter or darker. I also love the Light balance tool, the Color balance tool, and the hue and saturation tool. To get to the light balance you click control then L and a box will pop up, and then you just adjust the light levels, and can make the lights lighter or the darks darker or whatever…it is really great. The color balance tool is control then B. This will make your colors more rich and vibrant, but jsut beware because these colors affect the whole picture. The hue and saturation tool is great if you want to make a picture super trippy and cool colors. To get to this tool press control U. ENJOY and I hope this helped.

Comment on What is the best way to wash an airbrush shirt? by work it

First of all, before washing the shirt, make sure the paint is heat set by throwing it in the dryer for 20 to 30 minutes on high heat. Then when you wash the shirt use cold water and turn the shirt in-side-out. Only use color safe bleach and wash in cold water. By following these simple steps my shirts don’t show fading for the first year, and very minimal fading over 2 years.

Comment on Can I use glass paint with an airbrush and what will be the affect? by Silvergate

The best paint to use with an airbrush would be Poster Paint (or any water dissolving paint.)
The other paints like acrylic are not water soluble and will spoil your airbrush.

I’m a professional artist, and I use an airbrush almost daily. I don’t know much about glass paints, but I can tell you that pretty much any paint can be used with an airbrush as long as you know how to properly reduce (thin) it.The person you bought the paint from should know what to use to reduce it. With a gravity feed gun, you should probably reduce to around the viscosity of milk. For a siphon feed, usually a little thinner. Don’t be afraid of "spoiling" your airbrush. If you clean it properly it will last forever.
To clean it, use the same product you used to reduce with, then flush with water. I would also suggest actually taking your airbrush apart and really cleaning it. I’ve seen a lot of perfectly good airbrushes ruined because they weren’t properly cleaned. When you put it back together, be sure to lightly lubricate your needle, all threaded parts, and the pin that goes into your air valve (usually on the bottom of your trigger), a little vasaline works just fine.

What version of Pshop?

Oh, 5.5? Wow, I don’t think I can remember what tools were available that far back. You could use clone (rubber stamp). If you set the opacity down on the clone tool, you can clone from several different areas to mix the textures up. I can’t remember if you can sample all layers in 5.5, but if you can, create a new layer to do your cloning on. If you can’t sample all layers, sample from the photo layer below and clone to a new layer above. That way you can control the opacity of the cloned bits without harming the original layer.

Gently, may I suggest you get a copy of at least version 7

Comment on Can you use latex paint with an airbrush? by Sherry

I’m glad you asked that question, I have stayed away from latex so far, but may give it a try now. My biggest concern is that latex seems to get that skin on it so fast, big clogger.
Would love to hear how it works out for you if you decide to use it for your mural.
I have done murals on my walls though and just used acrylics.

Sure…but I’d go with an airbrush that’s more suited for heavier body paints like the Iwata Eclipse, that way you’ll have to thin the paint less.
You can use artists airbrush acrylics for murals as well, such as Golden and ComArt. Just varnish over when finished (semi or matt).
