Im after a painting/print of a photo but I want it in the style below. Does anyone know of a website, place or whatever that I could get something like that done at? Even if its just a computer image and I get it printed elsewhere. Or even know what type of effect thats called and I can research. Thanks

GIMP?? Easy as that then?

I cant believe they named the program GIMP. Is it free? Thats mint, cheers Andy

I might have Photoshop already, I just dont use it (or know how to lol). I'll give it a bash later.

Thanks guys

is it not 'vectoring' too? google for 'photoshop vector guides'

yep its a vector graphic.

you'd need to pay someone like me too make in

A quick shot at an image..

The Original..

This was done using the cutout filter.
Its easier to vectorise graphics in Illustrator though.. by manually selecting the indivdual colour sections and shading them.. but it would take time..

.

There is a little shop in eldon square in newcastle that do this to any picture on a CD you take in, and they put it on a canvas for you.

not sure how much they charge

Rach, should I ask Gowansy? He's good at stuff like that.

Is it hard to do something like that to a photo?? Would I be able to do it?? (Am not briliant with comps)

not really, get a photograph, then use the pen tool too draw round the different shaded areas and just build up the layers... it takes time put it isn't hard.

What programe do you use?? Photshop?

yep

I've found it easier to open the image in Photoshop.. posterize it by 3 or 5.. and then import into Illustrator.

Photoshop is a pixel graphic package.. Illustrator uses vectors.. which imo look better for this sorta work..

It does take time like!
