Rather than adjust this I decided to search for some Clipart pieces, to make a Digital collage, on my External Hard Drive. This placed the Portrait in the upper left hand corner, as the texture was a larger file. (It was Black and White to begin with.) I added the colored Paper Texture as a second layer. Then applied the Outline tool for the reverse color. I started with the man's portrait, I flipped it horizontally first. I did the majority of the layering and placing of the individual pieces of this little Digital Collage in Paint.NET. The others, the woman, ferns, steampunk balloon, are all from Dover Publications Sampler Clipart. The face is from MorgueFile and the paper texture is from StockVault. This particular image is of a "Tired Man," with Collage items added for interest. Thank you for your considering some of my music.

It is a mellow and soothing Tune that builds to a climax. Called "The Roof," it is a three track instrumental done with my 12-String Guitar in the Alternate Tuning of DADGAD. NOTE: You may noticed I have another Single Tune For Sale at CDBaby to the right. I saved that and then posted to "gatzkART!". Here I also resampled the image for display with compression set at 75 and smoothing at 33, with the JPG Optimized. I opened in Corel PhotoPaint and added a black border to the entire image.

I viewed the full image and found that the Map made a nice border for the sides but too much white on the bottom. I added my signature and merged all layers, saving the large iteration. I selected another Stone Texture and adjusted the darkness of the Stone to a light color before applying the property Burn (or was it Dodge?) one or the other.

I next copied and layered the Map with a slight change with Curves for the depth of colors. I left enough detail to satisfy me for their faces and hair.

I began with the Women ( from Morguefile) in Corel PSP Pro X3, I used the Threshold tool for white and black space.

(The brownish tint to the Map is the Stone Texture.) The Dual Textures are the Map and a Stone Texture from StockVault. Another image with layering of a Public Domain Map, showing Michigan and surrounding areas.
