Konnichiwa! (actually Konbanwa here at the moment..)
Your comments are always welcome and interesting to read. The actual shot was taken ages ago back in our home in Sweden using a small hand held Sony DSC F55V (my first venture into the digital world).
Usually I don't stick to photos but prefer to be on the other side of the camera.
Resize that is!
Also, as suggested by Seth, contrast of the mapped photo bumped up a notch and cropped prior to resizing.
su-go-i photo. Only one of about 3 Japanese words that i know. My wife is from Chiba City, so you would think I would know more. That's a great idea. Very creative and well executed
Thank you very much for all your comments.
Shame about the crop - you are absolutely right, it worked much better originally but I believe a lot of detail would be lost in a resize.
For example, the original full size images got "scan lines" simulation across mapped portrait as I wanted to make it as a large video screen....
I have been using photoshop since v5, but never bothered to go deep into it, which I aim to now. There is a ton of fun one can create with camera and Photoshop besides all that model skin smoothing and wrinkle removing...
