Hi guys, Pete, Larry thank you for trying. Mahendra what you say, you want to try ? Thanks to all.

Here's another shot. I think her eyes come through. I dropped the headband.

Here is my take on it. She has beautiful eyes, hope I did them justice. I imagine Mahendra will be along shortly then you will have lots of choices.

I'd like to hear what you all are using to make the conversion.

I used Gimp2 grayscale & threshold (once for his side, then again for her side) then a bunch of scrubbing and bridging. Do you use one of the other packages to get started then improvise, or are you just good artists?

Read through this thread and see if it helps you. It did me.
