[karelbandt]

Hello everybody,
My name is Karel from the Netherlands. I'm a beginner in Photoshop with an old macbook and CS5 (no oil paint filter ) in desperate need of your advanced skills and kindness. I would like to impress my mother in law by giving her the perfect christmas presents. She has three dogs which are her dearest posession (maybe more than her daughter lol) and i know for a fact that she would love to have her dogs 'painted' in a funny way, an old painting of a general or something but replace the face with the dog's face. I can do it but if i print it on canvas, something like 60cm wide and 90 cm high, it will look amateuristic. It's the first christmas so i would like to impress her.

I uploaded one example and the other pictures i would like to have photoshopped sorted by their names (dog 1 etc). Many many thanks in advance.



Please help me !!
