Using a B/W photo as a template, I used practically every tool in the PS arsenal to transform it into a color graphic!

Thanks, KK, Kay, Adilson, Goshka, and Colette! This was a good excercise in using PS tool, and glad it ended up OK. It was really a shot in the dark :-) #2292579Marsha S. Smith January 16, 2006 0
OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS, SAKES ALIVE!!!!! Steve, seriously this has to be THE most impressive bit of PS I have ever seen. Looking at it I can't even imagine where to begin to get your final results. Super cool! #2292730Piotr M. Organa January 16, 2006 0

LOL, Norm! Yes I kept the psd file, but I did the work as a fairly small file to keep my memory from bogging down. It's only 8x10 at 72 res. It prints well at that size, but probably would get jaggy if enlarged much. Glad you checked in after I wrote the steps down. I"m sure you're one who will get the lingo, man :-) #2294571
