Playing around with the Calvin Hollywood sharpening technique, Hue brush, redraw pupils, High pass.

Went for a dramatic portrait look. Unfortunately some of the paint stroking and texture was lost in the reduction for posting.

[MiningArt]

Enjoyed the many varied versions. Here is my take on it.

Cool to see you here too Dave. Like your program and the result looks great.

[lkroll]

I knew you were working of updates to Fotosketcher and was waiting til they got released but forgot to check to see if it has. Version 1.96 is nothing short of awesome (had 1.9). Very much want to again thank you for this gem Dave.

[FotoSketcher]

Thanks 0lBaldy! I'm glad you like FotoSKetcher This forum seems very active and friendly, I'm sure I'll enjoy contributing here.

To lkroll: good to see you here as well as on DPR.

And thanks to you both for the praise!

[MiningArt]

Updated Fotosketcher to Version 1.96 and gave it a spin. I used Pencil sketch 3 (color), texture strong. Thanks for the fine art program. :-)) For the preliminary work, simplified, enhanced lips, copied left eye to the right, removed a few hairs and made a focal point.

[FranS]

David, thanks for sharing your latest version of FotoSketcher. I'm looking forward to playing with it.

I can't believe I spent almost 3 hours on this! Maybe 20 layers?

[bpurvis]

Okay, one more try. Only 30 minutes this time and I think I like it better. I've been trying to improve my technique with portraits and this is a nice one to work on.
