Tool for "bolding" the features of a face?  Not brightness or contrast in other programs.

I'm thinking of purchasing Elements 7, in part because of a certain function I need for a project I'm working on right now.
I'm trying to use a B&W photo in a poster.  This photo -- of a face -- acts as a kind of backdrop in one corner of the poster -- i.e., other design elements are layered on top of it.  I've also colored it red.  The problem is that, while the photo looks fine on its own -- not under- or overexposed, not blurry -- when I add the color and superimpose the other design elements, the image appears so faint in relation to the other elements that it gets lost entirely. If you didn't know the background contained a photo, you probably wouldn't even notice it was there.
I'd therefore like to either increase the contrast between the lightest and darkest areas of the photo, or find another way to underscore or "bold" the darks.  I've tried the brightness and contrast functions in other, more limited photo-editing programs, and they don't produce the change I'm after.  Does Elements 7 have a tool that will do this?  If so, what's it called?
Thanks!

Thanks, that stroke outline function sounds exactly like what I was looking for.  I actually colorized the entire photo (including the background) and not just the face, but I'd guess that won't matter.  The software just arrived yesterday, and I've been busy banging out a screenplay all weekend, but I'll try both your and Terri's suggestions when I tackle this photoshop project starting tomorrow.
Thanks again!
Janet

  • "The feature Power View is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services" after installation of November CU for SharePoint

    We had deployed Reporting Services / PowerPivot /Powerview for a customer and everything was tested and appeared to be working fine . However after installing the November CU we now get the following error :
    "The feature Power View is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services"
    Initially PowerPivot wasn't working either but that got resolved after re-installing the rssharepoint and sppowerpivot msi files. Has anyone faced this issue?

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the PowerView not work after installing the November CU Updates.
    I check the November CU updates, it have no affects on the PowerView or PowerPivot.
    The reason for this issue may occur when the PowerPivot Service Application is not running after installing the CU updates.

  • IS THERE A CHART FOR COMPARING THE FEATURES OF THE MSI Z77 MBOARDS?

    Is there a chart for comparing the features of the MSI Z77 motherboards?
    Thanks

    What are you planning on doing with the build? If you will be overclocking, the gd 65 or 80 are recommended. The biggest differences are the Thunderbolt on the gd 80 and extra bios options and flexibility in overclocking.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • Error submitting form for Distribution: "The filename you specified is not valid because it does not

    Error submitting form for Distribution:
    "The filename you specified is not valid because it does not include a .pdf extension, contains one or more invalid characters or teh path preceding it refers to a protected system location."
    Tried removing dashes from filename, shortenign filename, moving to root directory. No changes. File ends with a .pdf extension.
    This is my first attempt to distribute via acrobat.com

    I found that I got that same message using Acrobat Professional to send out a document for shared review.  I had an exclamation mark in the title of the PDF. When I took out the exclamation mark, it worked.
    So maybe try taking out anything "unusual" (parentheses, dashes, exclamation marks, etc.) in the file name and see if that helps.
    Good luck,

  • TS1717 Error comes up in iTunes on check for updates "The iTunes update server could not be contacted.  Please check your internet connection, or try again later."  Currently connected to the internet, on HP Laptop running latest version of Windows 7.

    Error comes up in iTunes on check for updates "The iTunes update server could not be contacted.  Please check your internet connection, or try again later."  Currently connected to the internet, on HP Laptop running latest version of Windows 7.
    I get the same problem running the diagnostics.  Says network connections are present and in the green, but unable to connect to iTunes Store.

    I downloaded the Microsoft Autoruns package and ran it.  There are no programs in the LSA Providers tab, and Apple's Bonjour is the only program in the Winsock Providers tab.  I also did the "netsh winsock reset" and rebooted.  It didn't fix the problem.  Any more ideas?

  • I can't Start, Uninstall or Install new iTunes. I'm getting the same error message: Window Installer Service could not be accessed.  No other programs have similar problem. Any suggestion what can be done?

    I can't Start, Uninstall of Install new iTunes. I'm getting the same error message: "Window Installer Service could not be accessed". No other programs having similar problem. Any suggestions how to fix it?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) (not for XP) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

    If it is just out of the box, I would take it straight back to Apple and ask them to fix it.

    Thanks again. I tried channel 13 and it seemed to work better, with less dropouts (albeit not perfect) but sadly my slightly ageing laptop wouldn't recognise the network at all with the Hub set to that channel, so I had to switch it back to 11!
    Will try the factory reset at some point to see if that improves things.

    I was infact planning to change the iPad or sell it off due to this recurring problem.

  • Do we have any tools for automating the JavaFX 2.X application testing???

    Do we have any tools available for automating the JavaFX 2.X application testing? If so, can somebody provide more information like which shall be the best to get started, whether it is open source or licensed e.t.c?
    Thanks in advance.

    Using this we found that we can test only stand alone JavaFX application i.e. *.jar file only.
    But we want to test .html file as our application shall pass certain parameters. As per my understanding, I think this is not possible using jemmyfx.
    Is there a way to do this?
