Cool My First Mini Challenge

I've only been a member for a few days and I am already having a ball.

I just dropped the image into photo shop, created a background and adjusted thresholds.

Great work with the rainbow background and reverse image w/Threshold application. Elegant, yet uncomplex.
Glad you're having fun.

GrafixD:

The jagged crop + softening of Facet and Median made for a very interesting combination.

Hats off to both of you.

Ok, did my best too, one can only learn by trying. PSP7 used here.

First:
Lightening up a bit, then used the paintbrush tool (5, 11, 43, 3, 50, softness 20) (I have a Dutch version of Paint Shop Pro, don't know all the names of the tools in English).
Saved that version.

Second:
Took the saved photo, turned it into B&W, used 'lightening and brightness tool twice (37/44), second time as a layer. Mixed the layers about 60% and then I lost track of what I did next. Have to learn to write down each change.

And have to learn to work on a resized photo, this doesn't show quite what I've made. Or have to look up how to put that thing in where you can click on to see a larger photo.

Life isn't always easy, is it.

re: "One can only learn by trying."
Absolutely true and there's no "failure" in this forum. Only opportunities and new experiences.

re: "I have a Dutch version of Paint Shop Pro, don't know all the names of the tools in English"
That is a challenge. So far you're doing just fine!

re: "Have to learn to write down each change."
It takes a little getting used to. When you consider the value others derive from your experiences, the extra effort is worth it.

re: "Life isn't always easy, is it?"
True. But it can be fun.

Well, I thought that was a good idea too but I soon learned that I don't know how to Dragonize so I just fiddled around.

A little help from Harry's filters.

Warp Swirl; then my usual Impressionist/Paint Engine combo followed by some GIMP processing (bump mapping and Retinex Overly). Also added a Clothify Script-fu for the canvas texture.
