Note different versions for CSx and PS7: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/re...hread=20054878 ========= Pavel, Palms: I like your "dark, shadowy" interpretations. Very Friday the 13th looking - even though it is Friday the 22nd!  |

| So much character in this photo! Thanks, Danny Extract, add Curves (each channel "sliced with the pencil" at 3/4,1/2, and 1/4 tones. Noise added to the mask. Added shadow and background.

Danny thank you now you mention it there is a resemblance to freddy kruger ! i like your first one very much, and if i dont win the lottery tonight will check your post for the winning one  Ikroll thanks for giving someone else to look at, had to google Rockwell  If you havent looked at ikrolls amazing circle large do, cause that way you can see more ! ! ! ! Mike welcome like your sort of pop art version for any help with posting here is a link http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/ima...ads-posts.html I forgot to mention Swampy's post which is a terrible thing to of done because it is very worthy of a mention the background is great and even though i am not a fan of added noise this works realy well Palms Last edited by palms1 : 09-23-2006 at 12:23 PM.

... as for what exactly did I do... let's see...selected face and blue wall behind...changed colors to the shades of blue and grey...used that for base layer and then did a number of consecutive transformations on that layer...FlamePear ghost...merged...used USM at high settings...smart blur to blur face surfaces leaving edges (and hair) intact...I think posterized at this point, not entirely sure...IMP using Alex crosshatch II at default settings (twice), Photoshop watercolor....sketch of the original photo (find edges, desaturate), used white soft brush to remove "noise" leaving only face lines, merged in "multiply" with reduced opacity, art paper for background. I am a bit unsertain as to there some of the steps were done and I'm not sure if I used posterize at all...probably at low settings. Best regards. Pavel |

| Thank you Pavel It is hard to recall the "what if " technique but it looks like you didnt do too bad, plus it looks as if you had a real good what if session  and another but on the lighter side ! (thought i had already done this once  Palms Last edited by palms1 : 09-23-2006 at 11:44 AM. Reason: added |
