Well I said I might revisit this.

Palms your getting something there, I like it, just maybe you need to look at your masking a little, I know its WIP but its easy to forget these things - I do.

Wow, Palms.. love the crop and the new background. Kind of a mono-chrome look that is really striking.

Thank you Swampy.
I have no idea what I used, I just kept playing. I need to start writing down the ones I like!!
Palms I really like that look too!

Peter- really like your first one, great texture
Carb- love love love your smudge, that's so funny that you find it relaxing because I have no patience for it myself

some amazing renditions here! and dee dee, you do find and make the best photos. i love this guy

i've been playing so much with filter forge that i've neglected some of my other filters and techniques. so, i prepped this with Paint Shop Pro's native illumination tool, then applied some other things like usm, contrast/brightness, a little darkness/lightness brushing and some other things i forget. then, i got out paint engine and ran three different passes and some blend modes. i followed that by another, closer crop. there may have been a couple other steps in there, as well, especially on the eyes to make sure they showed up ok.

Thanks Swampy, Kimlou, Peter and Jordan
If you like this one is a prototype,( hence the not so careful masking, I know excuses excuses excuses

) will have a few more goes on different images and see what i come up with then i will post a workflow

I've just realised I'm being called Steve again, Now this is becoming a habit and it must cease henceforth, besides he's better at brush strokes than me and I'm jealous.

LQQKER

If I wore a hat I'd be taking it off to you. That is fantastic.

Peter

Swampy · #44 03-05-2008, 02:46 PM

Hey, Lqqker... haven't seen ya in a while

Peter... My deepest apologies! I know the difference, I just flat screwed up. :-(
