AutoÐpainting is a really nice way to start a painting of your own. Now typically I like to go out with my camera and go on photo shoots and if you open up the Work Files Folder you'll find a whole bunch of images that I took in New Jersey and one of my favorites is this one here with the farm. It's called, let's go ahead and check, just to make sure, Farm 2. JPEG. Now unlike Underpainting, Auto-painting will go a step further and assist you by really creating a lot of strokes based on what you tell it to do. You can find as you saw there under the Window Menu under Auto-painting. So here is the Palette and you can use your own judgment to create the type of stroke the tool will use when it paints over your clone or you can use something called Smart Stroke Painting. So before I get started let me go ahead and create Clone of this image. I'll go to Quick Clone and I now I have something for the AutoÐpainting to use. So let's go ahead and see what's in the Stroke Menu. I can choose the type of Stroke that I want. So if I want a swirly I can choose that. I can choose Randomness by using the Slider, Pressure, the Length, Rotation as well as the Brush Size and the Speed. So I'm going to go ahead and hit the Play Button so we can just get a quick look as to what happens. Painter will use the pixel information in your Clone to then start to paint the entire image. Now sometimes this could take a very long time depending on the complexity that you set up for it. So if you have a smaller stroke or a smaller brush size it'll take a lot more effort for the AutoÐpainting to do its thing. I'm going to go ahead and stop that and I'm going to Undo by pressing Command or Control Z. Now Smart Stroke Painting works in a different fashion. When I enable the Smart Settings you'll notice that my brush as well as the Variants change automatically to the Smart Stroke Brushes and as you can see I can use Acrylics, Chalks, Charcoals and all kinds of good stuff here. I'm going to choose the Charcoal and as you can see here it has the Smart Stroke Brush automatically selected for me and what happens now is once I press the Play Button it will base its painting judgment on the Variant that I've selected and what happens is it looks at the Light Values the Luminance in other words, the Values and all the Hues in the image to create the painting. So I'm going to go ahead once again and Press Play. Now as you can see it starts very broadly, its going to do very big strokes at first and then its going to get smaller and smaller as the Smart Strokes start to look more closely at the detail in your image and when its done you'll really have the nice basis for continuing the painting on your own. So I'm going to let it just go a little further so you can just see what happens when you Enable this Feature. It's pretty cool actually. It's a really nice way to make portraits from Photographs that you take of people. So if you have a family and friends that you actually like and you want to make a painting for them for their birthday or something like that, I would use the AutoÐpainting to get started and then take it from there. You can always stop it at any point and I'll go ahead and do that now, because it still has a long way to go to make this painting. So there you have it, that's how you can use AutoÐpainting to either use the Smart Stroke Settings or a Stroke and the Options that you choose on your own.
