Warhol style photo image changing?

Post by Bludall »

Does anyone know how to turn a photo into an Andy warhol style image? I've tried adjusting hue and brightness but it's not quite right.

Look for the 'solarise' function.
It available in 'Photoshop' & 'Paint Shop Pro'.
You won't have it in the basic image programs that come with windows.

Thanks for that. :thumbright: I've got a photo studio 5.5 but can't see anything on that. I'm sure we've got another programme somewhere that does fancy effects.

Hey Bigbird - did you find the option?

I have been meaning to play around with doing this, but I only use Paint :oops:

But ..... this is what I got :lol:


My initial pic (It's binky from the Dodge Caliber ad :-) )

and he's been warholed :shock:

Think he just wet his pants :lol: (have to remember the ad to get the line :grin: )

Try using Paint - it's free :thumbright:
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?"
She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Hoovie,

That's cute. :thumbright: My kids love that character. He wets his pants as you said. :roll:
I'll try 'paint'.

I'll have a look on download.com to see if there's a 'solarising' programme on there.

I want to print some t- shirts with Warhol style pictures.

I sort of streched the truth .... :wink:

I DID use Paint, but not the paint that comes with Windows :shock:

Download Paint.net - it is a totally free program and I used it to do that pic, following the instructions here
How to create an Andy Warhol 'style' Pop Art poster

Have Fun :thumbright:

Oh - and if you buy from Amazon, you may have got a flyer about free printing on T-Shirts? I think you get one free, but it is one more then none free!

and BTW - if you are printing, watch out when using Green and Yellow adjacently - they tend to bleed and it gets messy :roll:

I tried it but wasn't thrilled by the results. I'll have to have another go in the school holidays when I've got more time.
Failure means you just didn't get it right yet!
