From snapshot to portraiture - Is it possible?

[pete.i]

Hey Beth

I am the big 40 this year and I have a son who is 23 so I know where you're coming from on the settling down early tip.

Still they bring great joy and empty pockets so its not all bad

Regards

Glad you like it.

I use Photoshop CS with the QuickPortraitBoost action from 1-click I find that with good starting images (like this one) it is often all that is needed for a little extra without going OTT.

I did this just because nobody seemed to want to touch the picture of your big tennis shoe..

Well, you cropped it to show the most important subject (no, not the shoe)

We could do an Art History brush rendition of her shoe...
