Sin City SP

Friday 18th November 2005 - Day 335

Yesterday afternoon, at 4 pm, I was told I was taking part in a presentation. Today. At 1 pm. And it was being video'd. Arrrrrrrrgh. It went OK though! My bit only crashed the application I was demonstrating once.... well, I hope noone noticed that bit! Moral - always rehearse, which unfortunately was a bit out of my hands.

Taken a bit of a comic-book look tonight, OK - plagraised from the pages of Digital Photographer from this month - for any other readers out there. New layer > desaturate. Copy this layer>Filter-Sketch-Graphic Pen, then Opacity=50% and Layer Option=Overlay. My added touch was to also reduce the opacity of the middle layer to about 70%...

Sooooo.... I need my wine tonight.

Cheers!

Technique aside Lee, you also captured your warm smile quite well.

Nice effect on your SP. Thanks for showing me how you did it!

Cool technique that allows the great photo to shine through. It's some time since I've had to give a presentation and although I love presenting once I get started, the thought of it sends shivers.

Nice SP Lee, but I thought hens were the layers.

Nice treatment ... enjoy your wine! :)

First rule of doing demos - keep a second copy of the application running in the background for a seamless transition ;-)

Great SP BTW!
