PHOTO ART: Mini-challenge #153 – Kelly

[Axleuk]

Decided that the little girl needed a little a nice dreamy look as she looked very comfortable on the grass.

Highlighted hair
Cast light on the side of her face
Enhanced eye colour
Added some light mist
Added a cooling filter

I like the colouring of your picture, gives a different look to it. very nice work

[wizzard7]

Done at work no time to post how I did it, sorry.

[Axleuk]

wizzard7 - A very nice interpretation of a very beautiful picture, although it is slightly disturbing that the girl in the original picture has a black eye.

[wizzard7]

Hard to tell for sure but you might be right about the black eye.

wonderful photo!

0) resize to 900 in width
1) copy background
2) virtualPhotographer, aged photo b&w, some noise
3) decrease opacity (anything between 50 and 85% will do, in attachment is 75% version)
3) copy the layer from step 2
4) imp->chalk sketch->half-finished (brush 25, brightness 60, contrast 50, bg-image), blend-hard light

imp->chalk sketch->half-finished is one of my favorite Impressionist styles. It worked nicely here.

oh, that's for sure... i love especially its effect on recoloured photos, when you put the "image" as background... yet coarse, the results can get pretty impressive

btw, thanks

[Neve]

JC...what a lovely result! I can't thank you enough for your details ..I tried it on two photos (one family, other of friends) and both turned out beautifully. I used Photo Wizz instead to get a sepia tone. The photo of my friends was on the blurry side and not the best but with this make-over it turned out quite differently and successfully.

GIMP: Used Photocopy filter set to Value on top layer to create 90% of the effect. Some additional saturation/color adjustments. Used Xero's Fuzzifier filter and some smudging for cleanup.

Addendum:

Also used the old version of GIMP (1.2.4) for it's Adaptive contrast filter to give it more of a painted contrast look. Also used Xero's Pastellize filter on a separate layer set to Divide with adjusted opacity to give the overall image that glow effect.

[Kraellin]

nice ikroll do you mostly use the gimp?

had a go at this one too, based loosely on pinobot's use of neat image. that gave me some ideas and went crazy from there.

[cazubi]

Nice effect Craig...I think it looks scary though. She could be the start of a new halloween thread.

I saw this lot and decided to have a go.


1 duped
2 did find edges on bottom layer
3 added layer mask to top layer and did a radial gradiant on mask
4 added some canvas texture to top layer then an artistic brush effect (can't remember which)
5 flattened then added the spatterd border with the action that comes with PS

hope its liked

Peter
