Looks like some color adjustment to darken the mood then an accent edges or other "sketch" type filter to do the ink outlines.

I did the one below in about 3 minutes.

hmm...other comments?

It seems to be HDR...it has been discussed before. http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/sho...&highlight=hdr

That look is produced through software. Scroll through these galleries for examples:

I believe the Tone Mapping plug-in from Photomatix will also achieve these results:

ok no need to get plug-in software....it is a combination of high dynamic range technique with very heavy cocktails of painting with light (PWL), aggressive and deliberate "mis-uses" of unshapen mask, high pass filter, shadow and highlights command, contrast mask, and/or diffuse glow filter if applicable. Lots of hand colouring with Photoshop on the desaturated original.

thanks a lot. i try my very best.
when i finished i will post an example...

Will the Lucis Art plugin work with Paint Shop Pro, or will it work with Photoshop 6?

That's fantastic!!!!

it says in the artist comment section "HDRi"=high dynamic range image, combination of multiple exposures of the same scene with varying levels of transparency

I am impressed with the Photomatix tonal mapping..so impressed that i bought a copy....it would take me 20 minute to simulate HDR effects manually using Photoshop layer masks of bracketed image layers(without CS2 HDR conversion etc...). With Photomatix, it only takes a few minutes to get the same result. Besides it can work with 8-bit jpegs without the need of raw files!

HDRShop can create HDRI with more additional functions but very expensive:

Caution. This is a pretty spendy plugin and based on my experience with it (before I sold it -- too few uses for the work I do; some effects were totally useless), IMO it would not achieve the look of the subject image.

Unfortnately the demo only lets you assess results in the thumbnail screen about 2" x 2", which is not nearly large enough to make an intelligent assessment of the final result.

Since it worked under PS7, I cannot imagine it not working with PS6 or Paint Shop Pro, but as Nancy suggested it wouldn't hurt to check.

Your mileage will vary.

[Yoolan]

all my trys are useless. its so hard to get a similar result.
