<p>hi to everyone,<br>

I’ve been looking at several photographers to learn more about PP styles and I got to these two that i like:<br>

I was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction or explain to me how to get these results in PP? And it’s a given that the lighting schemes here are important …</p>

 

<p>If you do a search on PN you will get a lot of hits on these types of pictures, neither of which are reflective of the Rembrandt style. The 2nd one is called a draganized effect.</p>

<p>thanks Stephen, but i didnt mean the dragan effect (andrzej Dragan). and i do mean Rembrandt - the overall look (not just the lighting). here is another example of the PP look i'm talking about:

<p>When I was doing visual arts at college the Rembrandt effect, in photography, was the lighting, when lite from the side one side of the face was in shadow except for a triangle of light highlighting the eye. See photo.<br /> As for an oil painting effect for photos nearly all good and a lot of bad imaging software offer filters for such effects. <br /> <br />Saw a book awhile back that was very good. I belive the title was "Digital Photo Art".</p><div></div>
