Yes and I'm still looking for a hand for Ron as well.

Do you need a hand with that?

Yes I thought about that and it would make sence of course. But because of optical reasons (in the end it's only a ball ^^) I decided to go with the list (Dumbledore's army list, which is an important part of the movie as well). And I'll use the prophecy on the back image so it will be on the cover at least.

keep up the great work ! How you make the ''paint'' effect on your character ?

Before I use the filters on every character, I did a lot of retouching original images (especially on Ron) and adjustments of the colors, new coloring highlights etc. to get them look as similar as possible on each front. Then I made a copy of the group, merged the copy to one layer and made four more copies of this layer (a total of five copies, the original group is deactivated). From the bottom up:

- #1 is Topaz Clean filter with the presets of "Curly Smooth" (layer on normal, opacity 100%)
- #2 is Topas Adjust - Vibrant Collection with the presets "Clarity" (layer on normal, opacity 50%)
- #3 is Akvis HDR with settings 65, 100, 25, 40, 10, 2, 2 (layer on colour, opacity 100% and as clipping mask: -25 saturation & photofilter with 50% aa9476)
-# 4 is Akvis Sketch (style: classic) with 45, 2, 10 to 30, 4, 85 (layer on luminosity, opacity 20%)
-# 5 is a High Pass filter with 5px (layer on softlight, opacity 75%)

Settings for #4 and opacity for #1 depent on the original image quality, the smaller the image the less I use the filter, #3 is to get the colors as they are now.

Thx buddy !

Went on to the back of #5 instead of going on to #6. ^^

It's only about the big image on the top left, please ignore the rest.
Not sure if I should move it down a bit so the crossing to the bright background works better behind the quote?
