Sofia Loren:  (September 20, 1934) is an Academy Award winning Italian film actress. She is widely considered to be the most popular Italian actress of her time. She is also famous for having once been a major sex symbol. Loren was born Sofia Villani Scicolone at the Clinica Regina Margherita in Rome on September 20, 1934 to Riccardo Scicolone and Romilda Villani. Riccardo refused to marry Romilda, leaving her, a piano teacher and aspiring actress, without support. Romilda, Sofia and sister Maria returned to Pozzuoli, near Naples, to live with Loren's grandmother in order to survive. She would eventually change her name to Sophia Loren. More here.

I didn't see a sign-up for this. Are you doing like other LIMS and letting people enter in the first challenge?

Just making sure :)

Looks like green as well as red were used. I could be wrong.

I play around alot with different layers and the like. I use PSP, so anything that explains it in PS is pretty much Swahili to me (I think I spelled that wrong). Since there is time,I can re-work the icon.

I use Paint Shop Pro XII, what version do you use? The examples I provided were done in paint shop pro. I've sometimes played w/photo shop tutorials and do get something similar even when they use selective coloring. Let me know if you have any problems.

I have X.

Mostly, I played around with the "adjustment" layer for the color balance, which is what might have given it the green tinge.

I used only red, those I did use more of the red on her hat.

The questions is: will you let me use it or not? I only used the on color (which, I'm glad about now, I hadn't read the instructions closely enough, of it would have been more.

If you still don't want me to use it, I'll do another. I don't need the tutorials, but it's nice that you offer them :)

Cheers

Oh. Okay. It would probly be better to do it again as it's apparently at least two colors. I'm gonna leave it up to you. I looked at it on a different background and it didn't seem to be so green. Thanks so much.

If for any reason this doesn't qualify please let me know - it is all one color - maroon (although I faded it out in the background). Thanks.
