CLOWNs

Camera PENTAX LX and PENTAX Zoom 40-80mm on 80mm. KODAK EKTA Slidechrome 100 ISO. F 4-1/100 sec. Portrait taken at Sirmione-Italy(Lake of Garda) during a show. Date: 19-10-2014.First of all apply a threshold adjustment layer to original portrait and move slider at your own liking. Take care image doesn’t turn too black(ot too white); special way in the area of face.Later open several new layers(place one then following under previous-and so on- in the layer’s stack) and add “solid block colours”at your liking on eyes, lips, cheeks….Important is to use a lazo tool (or other selection tools)to describe the area around lips, eyes and so on. Choose a colour using eyedropper of foreground colour chip. Then press Alt+backspace so those areas fill with colour you choosed. Delete selection(s) using CTRL+D. Last add a colour(s) as background. Done. To fill areas using colours you can choose another path: set colour and press Edit-Fill, then OK. To deselect areas you can go to Selection and press deselect. All different ways work fine.Sorry for this “super-brat”lesson. Bye the way:I have matched together two different versions of same pic.Important is to start from a “finished-final”work. Then flip-flop horizontal and save with a different name. Open a new “empty”file (same height but length must be the same of the two different original). Drag and place these two piccies in the new “space”. Take care that NO white spaces appear along borders. Use arrow keys to move and place piccies in a correct way. Done.
PS I want to thank Mrs Maria(Autumnlight), Mr. Jim(Sandinista), Mr.Nezih(Nonur) and last BUT not least Mr. Gabor(SZgabor) of PUG-PPG for help they gave me in ONE Gallery(NO NAMES). I’ll never waste my time in that Gallery in the future…and I suggest you to spend less time of your life in that place….but “place”is not right word. I should use a different one to better describe that WC(Wafer Closed….AhhhhAhhhh otherwise they could offend…Ahhh I’m glad to inform you that it is not an Italian Gallery otherwise it could be even easier to state that Italians are only Mess, Mafia, Pizza and Spaghetti). This photo is dedicated to CLOWNS of Canikon Mafia. Canikon Mafia? No THX! I’m PROUD to be here in PUG & PPG.
