I took a picture (analog) of my daughter Hannah. In a graphic program I added some angel wings. Then I used an action named Gum Bichromate Print - you can find this action here:
you mean the old Photo effect? It's very simple - even though the Photoshop action is very complex. You open a picture and run the action. That's all. The info is under the link I posted. There you can find the action as a download as well.
These light gray links we have here on LI are difficult for me to see sometimes. My mistake! I did follow the link and will download the action as soon as I can afford Photoshop CS. Right now I use Elements and Adobe Lightroom. They seem to fit most of my needs at present.
Thanks for the info Rike!
Good morning - at least it is at my place ;) No problem Robert, yes the links are hard to see, especially when it is very bright in the room with the computer.
I don't have PS CS, too - much too expensive ;) I have an old version (PS 6) that I bought 'cheap' on ebay a while ago.
thanks Felicia :)
It's easy to take pictures of my daughter, because she trusts me - and she knows without much saying how she wants to see herself on pictures. It's more difficult with a person you are not so familiar with...
I made this shot with my Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D using natural light from a window. The settings were 1 sec f/8 ISO 100. I used Adobe Lightroom to convert to grayscale and applied certain filter effects in Photoshop. The idea was to create a soft, but directional light with sufficient contrast to print in B&W.
