p.1 #1 · One for Tanglewood


Many of you know "Tanglefoot47" alias Mike Bustad, he hangs out a lot in the buy n sell and is a well loved member. He sent me this portrait of his stepfather (taken by Mike with that great natural light) and I did this edit of him. I thought he had a kind face with a lot of character.
I painted the BG black and used the infamous draganizer filter defining the lines and bringing out the eyes. Hope ya like it and thanks Mike!


I fixed the typos Mike!!

Wonderful! You've made the ordinary, extraordinary (I know, that sounds like some kind of commercial, but very true in this case).

Susi,

Very nice job! What exactly is the "Draganizer filter"? I have been working on this type of style for a while now and have never heard of that.

I took a stab at Mike's image (your small original version). Could I post the result? I'd love to get your feedback.

Thanks DC and Pamori! You can find the filter free on the net and Pamori, you would need to ask Mike for permission since the original image is his.
Thanks again!

Hey Susi, I really love what you did. I downloaded a free version of Draganizer quite awhile back, but I've never gotten the color that I've seen from others who have posted shots. This shot is a prime example of what I mean. This looks really "rich". When I do it, it looks very "muddy". This is a great job though.

Oh susi I hate to tell you this but you have a couple things wrong and I thought we were friends

#1 it's tanglefoot47
#2 It's Mike Bustad

But I got a real kick out of this no harm done and now you owe me another photo someday

Oh I am sure I told you this but I printed this out in an 8 x 10 adn gave it to him and my mother they both loved it. Everyone who sees it loves it also

Mike

Ah shoot mIke! I guess I was thinking of Mustard! Sorry! But , I am glad we are buds and you are not offended!! Hugs!

Thanks Jon, you have to play around with the layers of the filter, as just running it without any tweaking is usually 'muddy' as you say.

Susi, thanks...You're right, I've just let the Plug-in "do it's thing". I'll have to experiment.
