I cannot download the image... There is a usage restriction.

>>>Standard restrictions apply and written permission is needed from ekartal before using the photo for any work.<<<

Also, when I try to copy the image from the one displayed in the forum, I can't open it in Photoshop becaue a get an "invalid JPEG marker, file may be truncated" notice.

Can you use save as?

Swampy · #4 01-01-2008, 02:45 PM

Tried that too, and get the JPEG marker, truncated on that as well. I'll keep trying.

It appears the restriction has changed since I downloaded the image or I just grabbed the wrong image. I am uploading a new image.

Oops still a prob with the new image. I managed to drag it to a temp folder but get the same truncated message swampy does. Also its size in the temp folder is 11kb not 509kb.
Though appears full size in Firefox.

I resaved the file using Save For Web...perhaps this will make it more browser friendly.

Worked for me! Thanks!

Hmmm, now I got two.. the first one downloaded fine for me and as I was going to submit.. noticed that the picture and size for the submission has changed.. soooo, guess I will start over and use the new one... I didn't really know what to do with all those large leaves anyway..
BTW.. Beautiful rendition Swampy..

Thanks, Swampy

Last time I did pen-and-wash was in school - with a real pen and real water. (a self-portrait at 13!!)

I just thought I'd try the obvious. Fired up Painter, drew the lines with an "ink" brush and the did the wash with the "just-add-water" blender.

Fun! I think I'll try again later.
