Practicing on my family - Sfumato stitchouts of my parents and my daughter. I've decided that the secret lies in the choice of photograph.

Nicely done!!!

Bravo ! et je suis d'accord, la qualité de la photo compte pour beaucoup dans le résultat.

Gorgeous!!!!!!!!

These are fantastic.. well done

Hello, I have ver8 Pe design, it is possible to learn? Thank you for your response Marie

Especially your daughter comes out well. Have the software, must give this a try sometime.

great, I've never tried this, but you did a lovely job here !

Hi Sue, these look amazing, i have try playing with it..
But i find too many thread colour changes.. then when I try to
bring these down I lose the beauty of the design lol,
I guess trial and error
Big hug from London

The most important thing seems to avoid shadows.

Lovely work!

Beautiful and good neat work. I like your daughter's picture. You have the patience. I have sfumato I have to try. Is it difficult? Are you doing it manually?

Sfumato is mostly automatic - success is dependent on the picture.

Good job, especially your daughter's picture.
Hugs, Lidia

The one of your daughter is beautiful.

They look super, how many stitches were each design?

Wow, these look great!

well done Sue! they are terrific Hugs Loralye

Looks excellent!

You got it into perfection. I enhanced some old worn out photos from spanish war time and you can only go so far before you take away the photo. There is a lot involved working in pictures.

practice makes perfect and you have already mastered it
great job

Sue vrey nice they look great.Lenamae
