Aye; that would make an excellent jigsaw puzzle. It’s fairly inexpensive to do these days, **mmm** ; you should look into it. I bet you could sell a few, too. ---

> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > If this is cheating or w/e I’ll restrict myself to a single, simple photo, eh… I understand and appreciate the explanation, so I’ll allow it. 🙂 Really cool image and manipulation. I still do a lot of photo editing in Lightroom, and a little in Photoshop. I am amazed at what you can now do within a phone. mmm ---

> [@Fiendish\_Astronaut](#): > > Was it the colour you changed in PS? I used a technique I invented myself. I copied the color picture into a separate layer. Then I put an invert layer on top of that and changed the blend mode to luminosity. Then I merged the two layers (the copy and the invert layer) and changed the blend mode of the resulting layer to difference. The result was a sort of metallic black and white with a little bit of color. I’ve tried this technique on a lot of pictures. It usually doesn’t produce anything special, but occasionally I get something like this. I don’t know how to predict when the technique will give a good result. ---

I was shopping for a (new, preferably snakeskin) wallet; marching up and down the Outlet Mall showed me that leather goods stores are all but non-existent now and that men’s fashion can still encompass a wide range of looks and styles. And shoes. ---

Believe me, if I had the money, I’d have bought clothes there. I like being brightly, colorfully and even outrageously dressed: pwning a look is awesome (yes, I just mixed gamer slang with fashion slang) but can be expensive. That’s why I dress like a modern-day Ernest P. Worrell most of the time.
