Wow--what a makeover. Very dramatic. The eyes now remindsme of the eyes of the Afghan girl on the cover of National Geographic.

Could you please send me the link to the action download.

Thanks.

You're welcome :-)
John,
I was so glad to read that not only weren't you offended by my suggestion, but that you embraced it and created this splendid pic of Ed

The action works decently and if you really are into this sort of editing I have read hundreds of threads where people add their own twists or even use different techniques. If you are interested look here for additional input

Here are a few of my attempts at Draganizing.

After applying some of the techniques I had read about

Draganized


As you will see if you click on that link above, Draganizing is big over at the DP Review Retouching Forum. Many examples posted there are close to what Andrzej Dragan creates himself. Wayyyyy better than my feeble efforts

Again, glad you enjoyed it and I would hope we'll see more pics of Ed. Draganized or not

Ginger......

This is not an action that you want to use on a subject who may see the final result. OMG, especially not a woman :yikes :eek1

I continued to be amazed by what people can do with photographs. This is excellent. Thank you for the links and pointers!!

Maybe I'm just slow, but how the heck do you use these actions you download in PSCS2?

JimFuglestad

Well well well.... now this made me sit up straight. I've seen this technique, but I thought it was some film technique. I'm definitely going to go check this out.... fun fun fun.

Thanks, and nicely done!

Click on the tab marked 'actions' on the far right...then when the menu opens ...choose 'load actions'. This should take you to the file with them in it & then choose.
