nice pic. got it in a larger size?

[Studio 58]

hey craig,

what is the size limitation to post ?

[Kraellin]

the only limit is on FILE size, not image size. and generally, for the art stuff, somewhere between 640 x 480 and 800 x 600 is usually pretty good, but there's no hard and fast rule on this.

I am not sure of the best procedure here. This file starts out at 288mb. So, i reduce it to the max allowable to upload ....100kb. Thats it ?

That's it...

If you're using Photoshop, File > Save for Web enables one to specify max file size via the Optimize to File Size dialog. (Use 99KB.) Works great.

optimize box comes up at 32k..........unable to delete or change setting

Check out this link. It explains in detail what you need to do.

[Studio 58]

thanks Syd....got all that, however, optimize to size comes up at yellow highlighted 32k. Unable to delete or change setting. I use photoshop (cs2) every day & I have not had an issue like this before

[Syd]

Is it , perhaps, because you changed your pixel dimensions before you went to Save for Web? If your pixel dimensions were 32k before you took it into Save for Web, Optimise will not enlarge those. How could your pixel dimensions have gotten smaller? Well if you had made your image smaller using Image>Image Size that would have affected the pixel dimensions.

My suggestion: take the original image into Save for web. You can size the image there using Image Size. For a picture like yours I would use an image size of about 600 pixels in width. Check 'Bicubic' then hit the "Apply" button. Now go to the optimise tab and fill in 100 for the desire pixel dimensions.

Hope this helps.

Exceptional interpretation. Do describe your AHB technique. Don't leave out the details on the edge texturing.

Well done.

[Kraellin]

studio58, much better and thank you for posting the picture

[irshgrlkc]

Cool picture, thank you for sharing.

I really like to play with the color of an image prior to doing something artsy-fartsy to it. :P So that's what I did, then I experimented with different filters until I got something I liked.

[oltenius]

Thanks for the nice pic!
I used a color sketch technique.
Regards,
Dan

Thank you Danny

I used trimoons splatter brush for this picture done over three layers (large medium and small brush ) flattened layers, saved, closed, then reopened the picture ( so that i have the ahb picture for the history not sure if it works any other way )
open > new layer >fill with white ( or any colour that you want )
then i use the history brush > natural brush2 >Pastel light 118 opacity about 30% and go over the picture in one sweep ( so that you dont get overlapping strokes) missing some of the edges
repeat doing this till the picture is fully "through" and you have the edges how you want
then sharpen and adjust colour
Hope you can follow this not that good at explaining ! !! ! !
