Sepiana, "Second entry – WOW! What an intriguing image! It brings to mind pop art/Andy Warhol. How did you achieve this effect?"I used magic. A pink fill layer/luminosity blending mode produced a extremely faint image. I saw this technique in a video for checking out brightness levels of an image. I ignored the rest of the video and intensifyed the colors.  Sepiana, "Third entry – Another great job. Bold and electrifying colors! Did you use the Posterize filter?"No Posterize filter. Two Hue/Staturation layers. One for the dancers and the other one for the bkgrd.
Moto,
Thanks for the detailed information! I need to check this magic/luminosity technique; I really like the resulting effect.
Very interesting use of two H/S layers. I had never thought of that. For some reason, I had the Posterize filter in mind.

whippet, really nice! Great job bringing all the elements together. You gave the starter image a fairy tale-like look.

Moto,
You submitted three great entries. I am having a hard time picking up my favorite.
First entry – Beautiful! You placed the spotlight on the dancers. The double frame (different colors and widths) added a sense of depth to the image.
Second entry – WOW! What an intriguing image! It brings to mind pop art/Andy Warhol. How did you achieve this effect?
Third entry – Another great job. Bold and electrifying colors! Did you use the Posterize filter?
– Another great job. Bold and electrifying colors! Did you use the Posterize filter?" Your guess of Posterization intrigued me. So I tried it out. The posterization was about the same. Good guess. Many ways to achieve the a similar result. It was easier than my way. No need to for a selection. (My way was to use 2 hue/saturation layers. One each for dancers and bkgrd.) The Poster Edge Way:1. Poster Edges: Edge Intensity = 0, Posterization = 3, Edge Thickness = didn't matter. 2. Colorize with a high saturation level. |

I see! You used the Poster Edges filter (Filter>Artistic>Poster Edges). I had not thought of that. My guess was about the Posterize filter (Filter>Adjustments>Posterize). I need to try the Poster Edges filter. Thanks!
