| | | Re: Creative Portraits: Therese age 8! Oh, it's only a compact Nikon Coolpix P2, but it's my first foray into digital after my OM10......seems pretty good so far and it was on offer at PC World at £97 so I thought it was a bargain....John |

MargaretM | Nice interpretation, Margaret. How did you do the outside edge effect? I especially like that. |

| Heh Danny and thank you. The outside edge was done in Painter using the builtin plugins - click on the little plug under the layers pallette. Choose Tear - then you can select color, margin, strength etc. The Burn choice also gives an interesting effect.

The capacity of limitation about putting on a blog picture is too small to use, so so it's uncomfortable.
Therefore, I link.... Creative Portraits: Therese age 8! <=== Click.. Click

| | | Re: Creative Portraits: Therese age 8! Another attempt.
Photoshop, lotsa filters (buzz, cutout, paint daubs, watercolor), merging. Most of the filters are not visible in the final pict.

| | | Re: Creative Portraits: Therese age 8! Therese,
Thank you. Very nice picture, fun to play with. Looking at Kraig's animation I get a distinct impression that Therese is no longer 8. |
