| Re: Creative Portraits: Red Headed Beauty I have lurked here for a long time, coming back to Photoshop and portraiture after an absence too. I need to get rid of the notice telling me I have never posted, so I resurrected this thread and had a go at a smudge. I go at this a bit differently from what I can understand from other posts. I capture the entire image as a pattern, then use the pattern tool to bring in the image a bit at a time, smudging as I go. This allows me to reuse the pattern tool to rework an area as needed. I tend to go from a big sloppy smudge to bringing in the details only where I need them. This method also keeps me focused, whereas if I work on an entirely visibile image I tend to jump around trying one area and then another. Here is my result. Comments welcome. Barb T. |

Glad you gave into the "nag" message. This is indeed a fine effort. Appreciate the detail on your unique approach, too. Look forward to seeing more of your creations in the future. BTW: looks like you did fine on the attachment. |

| Re: Creative Portraits: Red Headed Beauty Thanks for the kind comments. Palms, I work on a nearly blank canvas, I have a top layer of the photo so transparent I can just barely see it, just for placement, and I turn it off when the image has progressed to the point where I no longer need it.

| Re: Creative Portraits: Red Headed Beauty Sorry; couldn't help myself. I will now reveal a secret that I kept from you. Ever since I first discovered (a few years ago) Jigsaw Image Mosaics (these guys were inspired by Arcimboldo's work by the way), I've been obsessed with mimicking Guiseppe Arcimboldo's look. Now that I finally found a way, I can't seem to stop doing these. Please, again, I ask for forgiveness. |

| Re: Creative Portraits: Red Headed Beauty Thanks Craig Barb T., I have no idea how to use a pattern tool but i like what you did. Especially the hair. I can totally relate to the need to focus on smaller areas. |

| Re: Creative Portraits: Red Headed Beauty i havent had as much time of late as i used to have, but i have managed to keep working on filter forge filters and photo art and a bit of restoration here and there. one of the filters i've been working on is a sort of oil impressionist type. it's already got quite a few variations. here's one small sample: |

| Re: Creative Portraits: Red Headed Beauty i enjoy clever people and this filter was made by a clever person, Amethyst, over on the filter forge site. it's a snowglobe filter made in filter forge. i've seen tutorials on the web for making snowglobes from images before, but now, here's a filter that does it. pretty clever. |

| Re: Creative Portraits: Red Headed Beauty Just a judgement call Craig; didn't want to cut in too deep and make this beautiful face convert to bad. Still, should have did a few detail steps to add some contrast. |

| Re: Creative Portraits: Red Headed Beauty this is such a good photo, very attractive, that i had another go or two at it. this is 'refractive painting'. the idea is to turn the image into something more glassine. it's a little tricky. i use filter forge for this and combine results from there using paint shop pro. this technique tends to produce quite a bit of noise and artifacting, so i also have to clean it up by hand. |
