Deltatri3 Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Is there a prog that can turn your own photo into something like this? Bit of a noob when it comes to this shit so any advice would be appreciated. Also are there any good progs out there that can make your own personal photos look a bit more impressive for things like myspace.com etc? Cheers for any help
Gaijin von Snikbah Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 I know this program called Photoshop. Its really great.
Mr_Odwin Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 I used the GIMP to make this from a photo of me. It's not exactly like you asked for but it's sort of similar. With a bit of playing it may get closer.
RedShell Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Did this in Photoshop: The procedure: Change image to Grayscale. Use Posterize and Cutout. Change image back to RGB colour. Use brush tool (set to colour) and paint on top of image. The original:

AshMat Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 I remember thie GIMP, free one couldnt work it out loads of windows came up and stuff im goonna give it another go
RedShell Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 I get to using the cut out effect but my image turns out completly grey, like clear. What am i doing wrong?Adjust 'No. of Levels' and 'Edge Simplicity'. If Edge Simplicity is set too high i.e. 10, it will make the image pretty much disappear.
Mr_Odwin Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Odwin, how did you do that? Bit weirdly: Open up a photo. Use the Artistic > Photocopy filter with a high mask radius to greyify everything. Use 'colour to alpha' and select white as the colour. Create a white layer and place it under the original. Set the mode of the original layer to multiply. Create Transparent layers between the white and the original. Anything drawn on these layers will 'colour in' the original pic. The rest was just selective blurring and smudging.
mario image T Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 Leonardo leads... i don't understand. donatello does machines? oh, they are artists....that's right. can't believe i remembered, my brother used to watch that all the time. i guess some of it rubbed off! u guys are too good at photoshop or whatever the other one is. i am still confused about using a url to put the picture in without getting IMG or whatever.

Shorty Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 I think that first image has actually been done with nothing but the 'Chalk and Charcoal' filter in Photoshop CS2.
Tailzo Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 You can also do it in Macromedia Flash. file - import (choose the file) the you select the picture ) modify - trace bitmap. Choose whatever sensitivity you want, and then convert. You can easely change some of the colors with painting bucket.
Cube Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 I remember thie GIMP, free one couldnt work it out loads of windows came up and stuffim goonna give it another go You could try Paint .NET http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/ It required the .NET framework 1.1
AshMat Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 I downloaded the GIMP and got alright in it now. Guess i just wasnt up to it at the time
