Blending help.

I can't seem to blend the colors on the mountain together like I want them to and I need help!!! I'm using Painter 8.0, I want to know how to blend them while keeping their shine and darkness and blah blah blah blah blah.

Haven't tried Painter yet (... still...), but if you can set the brushes to be lower transparency, then just set it pretty low (20% or whatever) and use the paintbrush (or whatever colour-applying tool) to blend. Select the colour directly adjascent to what you want to blend, then go over the area where the colours meet with that low-opacity brush. Then select the NEW colour that is the product of the two previous colours blending, and wipe that over the area a bit... etc. Just toy with that until it looks natural! =)

If you try that, post a WIP (or the finished version) so I can see. Not the best at explaining.

is that suppose to be one of the loading screen pics? cuz ive seen one that looks like that.. just its less saturated.

Get Photoshop. You can do it with it in seconds..

He want's to make it look good... you can't make something look good in photoshop or any other program in a few seconds.

I'd say what Jac said is pretty good... and that was a good question Moon.

Blur/smudge can blur quickly, if you want that completely Photoshopped look.

The way I suggested is for a more painterly look.

Thanks, this is what happened.

Very very nice, Moon! *cheers*

You make me REALLY want to install Painter, ASAP. >.<

wow, i wish i could blend like that... then again after jac's tip, maybe i can! ^_^

Quick unrelated question for the masses, my photoshop trial is about to run out, does anyone know where there is a crack or hack or way to dl a cracked version (not on a file sharing program) so i can continue using it?

just wondering
