Different tools with different target markets. Might as well ask if a
hammer is a replacement for a saw.

That's a very nice rendition, but how much is it due to PS as opposed to
the skill of operator. I couldn't reproduce that in either PhotoPlus,
PSP 9 or Elements 6 and if I owned PS you could probably add that to the
list. I can do a reasonably good job at correcting what I shoot but I'm
no artist. My guess is there are books or web pages that could be helpful.
But Douglas, I think you've missed a wider message here. The op seems
like a nice enough guy but he has a query a day ranging from what camera
he should buy to the lens that would do his purchase justice and now to
what software he should use to manipulate his yet to be taken images. So
I think responses are for discussion among the responders rather than
seriously answering a unique query. In fairness to the op, the ensuing
discussion generated by his posts can be a mixture of provocative and
informative, your post is the latter.

I saved your Mother & Daughter image to guide me on doing an image
similar to this of a couple I know.

Any pointers to get started? I have Photoshop Elements 2.0 and 7.0 on
the way.

Thanks for the opportunity to enjoy a nice image.

Look good and that could be done in Lightroom also with the vignettes tool.

Perhaps this will help:

Photoshop is a program capable of creating art. Able to do extreme
alterations to photo images.

Lightroom is to a photographer what a darkroom and enlarger used to be to
photographers last century.

Lightroom 2 has some modern day improvements to what you can do during the
process of developing digital images and enhancing them for printing.
Basically it is a "Photographer's tool".

Photoshop could be a digital artists tool and can be used at the point where
Lightroom has no further ability to work. Use it then to recover near
disaster images or make art photos like this:

Ah, kluges, I remember them well. And last but not least,
although pronounced quite differently :

> Die Kluge (The Wise Woman), a German fairy tale opera by Carl Orff

which is based on "Die Kluge Bauerntochter" (the Clever Young
Woman and the King) by the Brothers Grimm, and more familiarly known
for his "Carmina Burana" and "Der Mond".

Of course it is. When you tire of sawing in the evening, all over
this land, you can continue with a hammer, without missing a beat.

Hi Bob, I'm glad you like it.
One day when I have nothing else to do, I'll do a quick and dirty U-tube
tutorial on the process.

I used the marquee tool to create a circle and feathered the edges by about
150 (8 megapixel image) then deleted the background. I used the erase tool
with zero hardness to clean it up a bit and made it a mono image.

Really simple if you saw it done. Sadly too many people on Usenet who would
gain from me making available segments of my photo videos have to miss out
because of a few nasty bastards who can't stand to think someone might be
able to do what they can't.

I also turned that image into a "charcoal" drawing look alike.
http://www.weddingsnportraits.com.au...ild-mother.jpg. I
affectionately refer to these as "faux charcoal". Also pretty easy if
someone shows you how it's done.
