photomaster, thank you, btw, for posting the image. lovely picture, lovely woman.

and i also very much like your original rendition. you have a combination there, of sharpness and softness which i find very appealing.

and, thanks for the link. i tried it out. it seems to only work on photoshop and not psp. it crashed psp when i ran it from there. seems like a good piece of software. simple interface, very intuitive and did a nice job on the image i tried with it.

I've wanted time to play with this ever since it was posted. Finally found a few free minutes. Thanks for sharing Photomaster. It is a great photo.

Magenta hair.

Still experimenting with various simplication techniques. Cat (other forum) started a theme thread concerning Gradients which I see lot's of potential for certain abstract renderings. Used a multi-color gradient to start things off and did some other things too.

Decided to do one more slightly different version showing more detail and shadowing.

It's been ages since I've played with Impressionist, forgot how much fun it it is!
this is 4 layers starting with a large chalky brush then progressivly shrinking the brush and masking out unwanted detail.

Re: Creative Portraits: Red Headed Beauty

Gave myself ten New York minutes and came up with this..maybe I can put a little more time into it later! Beautiful portait to begin with; in a way, I hated to alter it.

Buzz simplifier and pure colour on the first layer, with a coloured edge outline merged on top..paint strokes in Gertrudis Pro because I am pressed for time..then another edge layer on top of that...
