| Although this tutorial is well written and the instructions are clear, it is/was difficult for me to follow and achieve the same results the author intended. I played with it for a long time before I finally got something I could post. http://dawnofdesign.info/dod_tut_tcm.htm Thanks Patricia for the statues. They were perfect to try out this technique.

| Hi Patriciakay. No smudging involved. Used Buzz on one of the layers and it will sometimes give a smudged look. I have one more statue that I like and will finish it today. And thanks. Steve Quote:

| This was a fun project, thanks for the great photo! 1. Copied the background and made a mask of the statue. 2. Ran a "Distort->Lens Distortion on the background and also added some black to the building in the background (Selective colors->whites) and white areas around the body of the statue. I just found this area distracting and wanted to reduce its impact. 3. There appeard to be some red (about the waistline in the statue and blue cast around the bottom at the base) I removed both of these tinges with hue and sat adjustment layer 4. Set a goldish color AJ above the statue to give it an weathered look. 5. Curves to pop the statue and darken the background. |

| Forgot to ask a question. I think I saw you mention using Lucis Art. Will the Lucis Art plugin work with Paint Shop Pro. or PS 6? Thinking of maybe looking it getting it, but don't have PS CS2, (a bit out of my price range.) Steve Quote:

| Two really nice ones Pavel..the statues looked quite at home in the beachside garden... Berwin....Think you put in the light very well..makes a big difference to the photo...did you use a plugin or a photo enhancing program? Janet...Lovely glass look to the statue looks almost like ice!!! Thanks for including the link to the tutorial you used... Swampy....Good work and the frame fits it perfectly...if you look in the link you might find another!!!! Steve...Just looked in the Lucis website and it does say Photoshop...but as many can be used in both, if i were you i would download the demo version to your PSP and see if it works...Its such a useful one to have... Thanks to you all... Patricia...  |

| Here is mine. I used buzz on a couple of layers and lucis art on another ... blending mode, Luminosity, and masked out the statue, and then used lighting effects... 5 minutes top. Fun photo. ~Nancy~ ________________________________________ www.photoart123.com Last edited by Nanls; 08-24-2006 at 12:05 AM. Reason: uploaded wrong image |

| Another Sharp Control, Autotrace rendering. I've attached screen shots of my setting this time. Below is the Autotrace script that I use: Code: AUTOTRACE -corner-threshold 75 -despeckle-level 16 -despeckle-tightness 2 -output-format ai -output-file c:\temp\d.ai -report-progress %1 Here's the full rendering (don't like lowering the quality to fit specs, so I attached a cropped version with same quality). I did use Warp Sharp Script-fu and some blending to clean some of the white specs created during the vector conversion. I also did some lightening/color adjustments using Color to Alpha set to screen with adjusted opacity. |

| I'll be glad to let you know how it works for me in PSP. I hope you are happy with it, and don't regret buying it. I know it's pretty spendy. And thanks. Steve Quote:

| Do you have just the plugin or the pro version? Because, using the plugin, I am coming up with very little that looks anything like the great images I have seen on their web site. My Buzz images are much more creative even with just the simplifier, than this. Any clues you care to share? Am working with the demo and as Danny warned me it doesn't give you a lot of room in that small window to see how anything looks. This is a bit OT, so a private message will be ok when you have a moment. Thanks. Steve Quote:
