This week Marie has chosen MASCULINE as our word for inspiration and usually at this point I get a little twinkle in my eye and create something quirky. This week, however, I was in a different kind of mood entirely and wanted to just play in Photoshop.
So starting with a greyscale image of John Lennon I found on the web, I extracted him from the background, increased the brightness by around 50% to remove detail and to increase the light within his face, added contrast by around 10% for clarity before experimenting in colour variations until I created this lovely purple blue. Finally, I added a sharpen edges filter to lift and highlight and accentuate his bone structure and his signature round rimmed glasses. Ta daa!
Thank you for looking.

Without a doubt one of your best.... I just adore the man and have done so for many years...appreciate the sensitivity of your art, Ann...what more can I say??
We can only hope you take time to "play" in Photoshop more often, Ann. This is an amazing bit of Photoshop magic. I'm standing to applaud!!
A wonderful play with light and contrasts- a handsome portrait!
This is stunning. It feels like he's really looking at us. Beautiful work, Ann.
I agree with Bev, Ann, it certainly is Photoshop Magic made all the more special by the Yorkshire Magician herself!! What a fab rendition of John!
Nothing wrong with a play in photoshop, it is a great edit.
Fantastic work! I love the color you ended up with.
I'm glad that you were just "playing around in Photoshop" because you have given us a superb piece, Ann. It's thoughtful and beautifully and lovingly tweaked. Wonderful work.
Terrific choice! Great photoshopping. Sure wish I was listening to his music right now.
