Jim, very nice portrait with great effects. They don't look very serious to me :) #2032843

Kelly S. Andrews November 03, 2005

Beautiful! I like the bold blue colors in this and the playful mood - not too serious for sure! I like the effects too - can you explain a little more what actions you took? #2032932

Jim Kinnunen November 03, 2005

Thanks Brianne, Janine and Kelly!:) Kelly, I used two of Craigs Actions which are plug-ins for PS. One was ColorOver Soft and one was Illustration Soft. You can adjust the effects and the colors as you go. Illustration Soft is available as a free sampler. I really like it. #2032977

Carla Metzler November 03, 2005
