| | | Hi JackK,
I thought I'd get your singer onto the big stage, so I cut him out used the Render Lighting filter from Left and Right. I created some "Spotlights" in the background by creating a Selection, Feathered about 15 pixels and filling it with a Linear Gradient. I would then contract the Selection and fill that with a white gradient. I added some spotlights pointing straight at the lens using the Lens flare filter and finally I added a bit of Render Lighting on the Background just to seperate the figure.
Hope you like it.
Regards

To me it's still hard to beat the Impressionist style.

| | | i thought this gave it a little more depth. i havent played with this for a while; Paint Shop Pro has an effect called 'user defined filter'. it's a sort of make your own filter. psp 10 improved on how this works and now you can see your effects in real time as you make changes, which makes this tool much more valuable. at any rate, i decided to try this tool out on this image. i also added an extra layer of the original so i could do some blending of layers. and, that's what i came up with.
