Thank you. Well, here goes:

First, I created a document the size of my target photo in Inkscape, a vector drawing program, and created the tesselation template (fig. 0)

Second, I opened up the photo in Photoshop, copying and pasting the tesselation on to it. (fig. 1)

Third, I highlighted the individual colors, one by one,switched from the adjustment layer to the background layer; copied and pasted , repeating until the entire photo was mapped. Then, with each copy/paste section, I set the layer style to inner shadow with the settings as shown in (fig. 2).

Fourth, I merged all the color layers into one and all the copy/paste layers into one and set the blending option to soft light. (fig. 3).

Lastly, I flattened the image and saved it.

Luci's latest set of photographs. Luci and just five other volunteers look after, feed and walk as many as they can of four to five hundred dogs. She obviously doesn't work with the elephants, I'm pleased about that. It is very tiring for her. it's up at 6am, breakfast at 7am, start work at 8am, they have a mid-day lunch break and work until 5pm. They try to walk as many of the dog as they can. Her little favourite Choo Choo got beat up last night with some other dogs and ended up in the hospital. They'd better watch out, if they get on the wrong side of my Luci, they'll be sorry :lol: She'll be ok, she's a big strong Yorkshire Lass.
