Title: portrait help
Post by: EdwardW on April 14, 2011, 02:32:09 pm

These friends of mine are getting married next month and try as I might-I can not get it right in gimp or inkscape. Comes out either too dark or too light?? Gaa! Any help on a decent cuttable portrait would be most appreciated...Thanks.  Ed

PS: Is this a workable picture to begin with?

Grampa, I will try. I actually pulled this from their facebook so I could work in suprise but maybe I can get a full size from them. I have enjoyed your work by the way!!  ed

Hi Ed, I tried with both the photo,s, hope one of them is ok, it would be better with a better photo but then if you ask them for one its not a suprise........Paul

Ron,

Thank you! Very nice indeed. I was thinking of creating a wedding photo cover or quest book cover with one of these patterns...maybe a portrait and a wedding book...I have a month...plenty of time right?? :)

I appreciate this board so much!
