Re: OT: Photoshop CS4 upgrade overpriced

oops, sorry, I should have been more clear:

1) this  IS the finished picture.  6 layers with 6 negatives

2) this picture is NOT sanded!  When I said "I've started to sand", I should have said that "after THIS picture, I've started to sand!)  

I don't intend to do many of these, either.  These negs are 16x24 and they do consume quite a bit of ink, especially the new orange and green masks which are almost all black.

Wow, can't wait to see the finished print. On the other hand, I definitely
won't be in 6 colors separation thing. 6 negatives per print is way more
than I would like to afford even with paper negatives; ink is not free.
Also, I would like to have the possibility of finishing the print in less
than 6 layers. (Or, am I dreaming?)

Keith, I understand that was shot under oblique light - exaggerating the
texture - but IMHO there are still too much brush strokes for a "sanded"
surface. If that's sanded then my imagination is not enough to visualize
the raw board ;)

Thanks for sharing,
Loris.
