I hope you're not too sick of my pictures
This one was taken during a medieval reenactment in Crevecoeur-en-Auge (Normandy, France).
Have fun
Sylvia
PS: Sorry, Steve, no portraits from Paris...

Sylvia, your photographs are charmed and they are a joy. As I worked on this one I went back in time to when I held my babies and looked out the window, just like this mom. Thanks for the trip back.

I used Topaz Simp on the watercolor setting, then tweeked here & there. Changed the window view and added a PS texture.

Gentlemen, your versions are wonderful. You did this mamma proud.

Thank you Silvia..

I have found that using the save for web function in Photoshop you can save a picture with a size of around 15X20 and @ around 4.5MB or a tad bigger and it will scrunch down to under 200K with minimal loss... as shown in this sample post

Or... just post a picture in the thread as reference then post a link to a larger size High Rez copy of the original that is stored on the web somewhere... such as ImageVenue.com (3Meg max, free) pixentral.com (2Meg max, free) photobucket.com (1 Meg max free, 5 Meg PRO) mediafire.com (100 Meg per file, free)

I always use the save for web for the forums.
In fact I just found out the dimension of the picture doesn't matter with RetouchPro, it just has to be under 200 ko. Good to know...

Wasn't sure which way to go on this one especially after looking at everyone's great versions
so this is what i opted for, maybe a bit dark for some but it was the way i preferred it, lighter didnt look right ! ! !

I think I would have lightened her face a bit, but it looks good.
