This picture reminded me of Edward Hopper.So I tried to emulate the feel of his work.I used PS7 and virtual painter impasto.
Cheers

Issy,
Terrific rendition. A larger size pic would be great ...details are a bit hard to see.

Very very quick one, increased the size, messed with levels, used simplifier.
Going to bed soon. Good night.

Tooks some liberties and fractally (thanks to Image Analyzer) resized it for those who still want to play. Also, I did play myself (resized it again {trust me, you wouldn't like the second resize}, downsized it a bit and ran Flaming Pear's Pixel trash (blended it with the resized version) and Warp Sharp Script-fu for this one.

Used Ikroll's LK Mosaic plug-in for Impressionist with color background in Darken blend mode. Very nice plug-ins Ikroll. Nice picture and nice work on it Izzy.

Thanks JimJam. Yes, Impressionist is powerful, but this java applet is the best that I've seen for an all simulated mosaic interface. Already posted the link on other threads, but if you haven't already done so, here's the link. Attached is a sample. I did bumpmap to give the tiles some depth.

I'm sure everyone who has worked on this has enjoyed having such a marvelous photo for painting. Thank you for sharing it.

And to everyone who has taken up the challenge. to you all.

Had a go at this one tonight.

Steps taken:

1. Opened image.
2. Duplicated layer and used the smudge tool on the top layer. At this point I applied Edge Effects/Enhance twice.
3. Next I went back to the background layer and applied emboss.
4. Went to top layer and changed blind mode to Hard Light then duplicated
5. Changed this Layer blind mode to Soft Light and duplicated.
6. Changed this layer blind mode to Lighten and adjusted all three top layer till I liked the look.
7. Merged visible and applied black pencial effect.
8. Flattened all layers and added border then saved for web.

All effects done using Paint Shop Pro v8 no other plugins.

Hope ya'll enjoy,
