Not wanting to disappoint a lady "Neve"

I have a larger size but i work with 300 dpi not 72.

Well done GrafixD...just a pity we can't see it more clearly. 300DPI is great for printing but for posting I usually just resize to 72dpi and then work on that version for posting. Someone will come along and explain this better than moi...

"Get your tickets to the Magical Mystery Tour! Right this way!"

Multiple layers...
* Photoshop solarize (+ Levels)
* Photoshop solarize (+ Hue/Saturation + Invert)
* A filter called "PopArt" from www.ThePluginSite.com. It's part of the Plugin Gallaxy collection. Install the demo, delete all but PopArt.

...spliced together with Layer Masks.

Thank you, Neve, for one you knew I'd enjoy.

Well done GrafixD. It looks like a real painting.

Danny, now who is "off their meds"?

It was worth the journey though wasn't it? Fantastic result.

Mmmmmmmm !!! I think Danny is having a better time than I am !!!!

Good one, Janet! (LOL)

I was experimenting (on a single layer unfortunately = no screenshot) with the Impressionist plugin (again) and may have come up with a new custom style I like. It's kind of like #djroil24, but varies the size of the brush according to some internal algorithm.

I liked the outcome and in spite of no detail wanted to "balance out" the Magical Mystery Tour upload.

This is awesome work, Danny. Just how do u achieve this much with the impressionist filter

I remember when i first joined RetouchPRO i wanted to only do the kind of impressionist work you did!! Anyway, can hardly wait to try out your new custom style.

Glad to see you found time to get around to this one Danny....the "off meds" result is cheerful and bold, and your "on meds" post is fantastic.

Thanks for a great picture Neve.............

Basically i added ink outline, then a layer of clouds on hard light and changed the curves a bout abit, and merged, simple picture really, since getting a new hard drive all the programs i did have have now gone, so its just photoshop and me.

Fill duplicate layer with gradient map. Motion blur. Add layer mask, bevel and drop shadow layer styles. I've been looking out for that tutorial Manju wrote a long time ago on her technique but couldnt find it.

Neve · #14 03-03-2005, 05:42 PM

Terrific results LA and Jaykita!
