heres my 3rd try at painting my dogs in painter....
I'm sorry guys I know you will be sick of seeing my dogs !!!

heres what I came up with?

mostly like what you have done cazzie but i think the edges, around the head particularly, still need to be less 'clumpy'. I've tried to show what I mean by smudging in the framed area with a small brush to give the appearance of hairs......hope this helps.......keep up the good work

That is better still Cazzie, and no we wont get fed up of seeing your photo's in fact would like to have a go if that is alright with you, I know for sentilmenal reasons you want to do a picture yourself :)

Hi Palms
Thanks, LOL you might regret saying that LOL :)
yes I do want to be able to do one my self for sentimental reasons, but would love to see what you did with it too Thank you very much!!!!

Hope you like these two versions Cazzie done in ps7

Palms

Oh Palms
Thank you I LOVE them !! The colored one is gorgeous!!
you are GOOD!!
I still have so much to learn lol and i really must get a mouse for my laptop !!

And here is another two versions
now this should go someway to redressing the balance of the cats / dog thingy ( long story but there are those who say i prefer cat images :grin:)

Put me on a lap top without a mouse and i dont go anywhere I cant use them things for the life of me :blush:

Cazzie nice efforts keep it up.

Having seen yours Palms, I had to have a stab at this one.
I'm half expecting Steve to do one, along with some song lyrics - 'How much is that doggy in the window' maybe :D

I fear it is too late alas, the deed is done, Heaven help us all.

Cazzie it was a smudge, with a bas relief layer faded back a little plus a texture layer.

Peter

Now you get the story Cazzie, They all pick on little me :grin::grin::grin::grin:
do you have photoshop or something similar ?

Palms

I think she has painter.
And Cazzie- if you are working on a laptop without a mouse....then I think you have done pretty impressive work! Now forget about getting a mouse and go straight for a graphics tablet. You will be amazed at the difference it makes!
Palms- you're becoming quite the smudge expert!

sorry guys I havent been able to get on to answer your questions!
I lost everything on my computer it got a bug!!! grrrrr

Thank you! im look at getting a new set up so i can use my tablet i have one but have never really used it but now i have found out you can paint lol im addicted :grin: i normally just sit with the laptop on my knee ! so i want to get another system so i can have it set up on a desk! would be much easier !!

Sorry to hear about your puter problems, hope they get sorted out for you soon
There are quite a few here who use paint shop and do some great work keep your eye out for them Kraellin (Craig)&Steve Conway to name just two
And Painting gets better and easier with a tablet it just takes a while to get used to it :)
