And I love your tomato quilt - it's beautiful. I use photoshop elements myself, and before reading all the comments, I checked to see if it had the cutout filter, which it does.Cheryl Gebharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397847473688573549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9393658.post-3924808542768842752011-10-23T11:08:31.633-07:002011-10-23T11:08:31.633-07:00Brenda, thanks for the info that Elements has the ...Brenda, thanks for the info that Elements has the Cutout filter.

Great fabric selection.<br /><br />For Nancy, Illustrator is a drawing program and cannot be used to do this kind of manipulation of photos. I use both Photoshop and Illustrator, but in very different ways. I wrote a couple blog posts about using Illustrator starting with this one: http://andsewitgoes.blogspot.com/2011/06/illustrator.html<br Terry Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16650965451863656517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9393658.post-5897887166998048612011-10-22T23:05:29.450-07:002011-10-22T23:05:29.450-07:00Thank you for your step by step tutorial which I f...Thank you for your step by step tutorial which I find so helpful.I want to try it on a portrait and do a pop art Andy Warhol project.Maya Sara Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11809463746704452013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9393658.post-22610448271226249822011-10-22T22:47:15.871-07:002011-10-22T22:47:15.871-07:00Thank you so very much Diane for the detailed expl...Thank you so very much Diane for the detailed explanation of this technique. I have often wondered how this was accomplished. I will have to give this a try. Brenda, that's for the FYI on PShop Elements which is the software that I have.

The only thing I'm lacking is Photoshop in any version, Illustrator, or like software. If I were to invest in one of these programs, or ask Santa for one, which would be best for this sort of thing?
