NOW we're talking! A photo that a woman can enjoy visually while working on Photoshop. Thank you Janet, and thanks to your friend Troy for his generosity.

P.S., I like your taste in friends!

Troy

Ro/Ra, We HAVE to notice -- it's too well done NOT to notice!

Neve -- Lovely! You really brought out his eyes!

Legacy -- Delightful! Soft and yet it retains his character.


Tried another version...

C.J, Ro, Neve, Elle, good job everyone!
Mine was in painter 8, clone tool, loose brush strokes, then surface texture added.
Thanks Janet, enjoyed doing this for your good-looking friend!

Rather than comment on each picture, I'm just going to say, "I'm glad ya'll like Troy's picture. I'm sure he will be pleased to see the results."

Here is mine.

One more attempt in ps7 only...
Dodge, burn tools for highlights/shadows, more contrast with selective color and level adjs, one more layer of added color, low opac, overlay blend, smudge tool for the painted look, some additional blends (invert, softlight etc)filter-other-custom to bring out texture, also filter-add texture-canvas.

I especially liked your Painter interpretation, Judy. You inspire me once again.

- - - - - -

I used multiple Impressionist-rendered layers (see this thread for brush modification info and general process), then over to Painter for some Blender > Grainy Blender, Artists Oils > Blender Bristle, Artists > Captured Bristle action.

Back to Photoshop for sharpening; back to Painter for more blending.

Re: Creative Portraits: A photo for the ladies

I'm posting this wearing a wig and using a higher pitched voice just to meet the criteria for posting (the things we do for arts sake).
Hope thats OK
