Take a Chance on Me!

Uploaded: May 13, 2008

Description

Digital Darkroom
Description: Now a Phello Photograher entry. I thought I would give this one another try, it is a Rhodesian Rhidgeback shot I took at training and he looked so cute. I didn't crop so tightly, used filters and finished off in Corel Painter, but I couldn't bring myself to dab over the edges. lol. Pat

Hi there Gretchen, thank you! I started of by using the Fractalius filter on the image, have you ever used it? It is great, only new to me.

Then I changed the colour in Niks Colour Effect Pro 3. Used "Contrast Only".

Then I went into Corel and painted the eyes and did a bit more there.
