hello
I would like to give my wife a gift for her birthday, that is made of a scanned picture of hers, and turned into a gouache or oil painting like creation.
what I am trying to do is transform the original picture of HER to a 30 by 40 centimeter (enlargement) that should look like a Van Gogh style or a pointalistic style picture. I want the end result to look as if it were "professionally"/artistically hand-painted .
I know there is a filter to do this but I am looking for a real work to do on the scanned picture of hers, and it doesn’t need to be the simplest and shortest way.
could anyone please give me some step-by-step instructions for a beginner level user who knows some of the functions in Photoshop 7 but doesn’t have real profound experience?
thank you
p.s. you can mail me directly if you feel the reply does not belong to the newsgroup…
