This is my uncle Jerry Pickett. He's the Teamster in the family. For this portrait, I cropped and stripped to grayscale, then switched back to RGB, then duplicated the layer and turned the bottom one into a strange hatched paint type layer using a filter I've never used before. Then I created a new layer in the middle and colored it bright red. I decreased it's opacity to about forty percent, then I decreased the top layer (the photographic layer) to about seventy percent. What I think I achieved is a pillow effect, similar to softening the light and using a very mild red filter. Let me know what YOU think.
