"Threshold the Guitarist" Corel - Plus

Textured Guitarist

I used Google's Advanced Image search for free Guitars photographs and found a guitarist. I also visited Mayang's Textures and got a new blue scratched and peeled texture.

I opened the texture with Corel Painter Photo Essentials 4 and auto painted with the Detailed Watercolor feature. I saved that and opened in Corel PhotoPaint and resampled to the size closest to the guitarist image.

I opened the guitarist image in PhotoPaint and selected Image, Transform, Threshold and lessened the detail of this Black and White image. I saved that altered image.

I reopened the blue texture now a watercolor, in PhotoPaint. Then using Picasa 3.9 I copied the guitarist image and pasted it onto the texture. I adjusted the size of it and applied the property Multiply to it to allow the texture to show through. I saved that iteration.

Opening this in Corel PSP Pro X3 I added color Vibrancy to give more punch to the color. Using the Time Machine Photo Effect I selected 1960 processing and gave it a outline. Then I used Picture Frame for the thin Black frame.

Saving that larger iteration, I opened in PhotoPaint to add my signature in white.

Still working on the new song "Wait Until Morning" It's coming along fairly well. I hope to record it on my computer soon, so I can share it. I'll probably post it to the Acoustic Guitar Community, or make another slideshow like I did with "Revel DADGAD."
