thanks everyone. hope it is helpful to some people. i found these while stripping the chairs down to recycle metal. as Little Rock Photo says, better than filling a landfill.

another bonus to this set up is the ability to collapse and fit in a camera bag easily. thinking of painting the inside silver to add light transmission. also thinking of modifying it to accept colored filters.

i really like my wacom intuos 2. very customizable control, highly responive, and precise. i have had it for four or five years. no issue or complaints. worth the extra.

You could bring the white level up with levels layer. watch out for the highlights on the edges of the hat and arm bleeding out with brightness. a black to clear graduated filter layer to even the tones from bottom right to upper left. maybe try soft light or pin light layer blending modes at different opacities to get the look you want with the graduated filter.

I'm still trying to figure out what I did wrong that has me stuck on 0 entries lol

you will need to log into the counter, then enter the information in all the subsections that appear.

looks like the price jumped. 1649$
