Here’s a detailed guide on how to do it:
### 1. Image Processing with mtPaint
Firstly, you’ll need to prepare your image using image processing software. I recommend using mtPaint, which you can download and use for this purpose.
#### Steps:
1. **Open your image in mtPaint**: You can download mtPaint from this link https://mtpaint.sourceforge.net/ .
2. **Apply Kuwahara-Nagao Blur**: This will smooth out noise and details in your image, making it more suitable for a paint-by-numbers template.
3. **Adjust the image**: You might need to adjust brightness, contrast, or saturation to make the image more clear and vivid.
### 2. Vectorization
After processing your image, you’ll need to vectorize it. You can use either VectorMagic or Vectorizer.AI for this task.
#### Options:
– **VectorMagic**: Accessible at VectorMagic https://vectormagic.com/?atk=5ipm6n1a3b . It’s a powerful tool for turning raster images into vector graphics.
– **Vectorizer.AI**: Accessible at Vectorizer.AI https://vectorizer.ai/?atk=5ipm6n1a3b . This is another excellent option for vectorization.
### 3. Color Selection with HLC Color Atlas Navigator
Next, select the colors you will use in your template. The HLC Color Atlas Navigator is an excellent resource for this.
– Access the HLC Color Atlas Navigator at HLC Color Atlas Navigator https://artistpigments.org/hlc_atlas/random . Here, you can choose colors and get their precise definitions in different color spaces.
### 4. Paint by Numbers Generator
Finally, integrate your vectorized image and selected colors into a Paint by Numbers Generator.
– Use this Paint by Numbers Generator: Paint by Numbers Generator https://drake7707.github.io/paintbynumbersgene…/index.html . This tool will help you create the final paint-by-numbers template, where you can upload your vectorized image and assign the chosen colors.
