Hi Pam:

Your interpretation just shows that you can achieve lovely results using a light touch.

Nicely done.

Duped bottom layer
L2 -/Photo Wizz/Lum Neg (this lightens, brightens and reveals
what's in the shadows)
Mode/Soft Light - merged and duped layer
Power Retouche/BW filter
Filter Amphisoft/Photo Tint White out
???? Can't recall what I did on this layer
but at a guess - Mode/Lum (L) reduced opacity.
Merged both layers and duped again
L2 - Buzzed then Paint Shop Pro/Brushstroke
Normal Mode - 75%
Merged both layers
Added a matt frame.

A nice olde world photo to work with again, thank you!

Thought I would take a shot at this one.
I followed this tutorial for the most part. Of course, I tweaked the filter settings to my liking.

I had forgotten how much I enjoy doing this

Layer 1:Original layer
Layer 2:Layer copy of original, desaturated, inverted and gausian blurred, blend mode color, cut out rose and wine and ran some selective blurring

Added text and drop shadow and some minor tweaking.

Your text selection adds a lot of class to this interpretation. Well done.

Wizard,

Welcome and what a way to introduce your first post.

Simply fantastic rendition !! I would love to know what process path you took to acheive such a colourful, clean and quite simply beautiful result.

Hope to see more of your work soon.

Wiz:

Let me add my welcome, too. I like what you did here. Very bold and colorful.

Glad you're enjoying the site and that you jumped in with a creation. Keep 'em coming. You've definitely got the touch.

JLC, I have to admit I like your version of the tutorial you used much better than the original they used to do the tute with. You really have a nice version. Now tell me, how did you manage to toggle back and forth between your work and the online tutorial without losing your mind in the process?

wizzard7-- great rendition. Care to share?
I did mine a long time back with stylize-find edges, buzzpro and smart blur. Now is as good a time as any to post it, i suppose

[Xaran]

In Painter IX.

Increased canvas size.
Duplicated background (wish this was as easy as in Photoshop)
Ran Xero Line Art - Sketch mode line = 10
Used blender brush - grainy water 30 to paint over the sketch.
Reduced opacity to 80% to bring back some detail.

Thanks for the complememnts, I thought the image too much yellow color cast. I was also looking to get the rose and the book color closer
1. Fixed it with color adj. layer
2. USM 500, 1.5, 0
3. Stylize > Diffuse > Anisotropic
4. rotate 90
5. Stylize > Diffuse > Anisotropic
6. rotate back
7. USM to liking
8. buzz pro smiplifer
9. selected rose for hue adj layer
10. another hue adj layer for the total image
11. curves adj layer

In the Tools palette, it's "under" the History Brush. (The keyboard shortcut is "Y".)
