OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOps.....
Sorry for my 3 different replies!
It's the matter of this system.
First I wrote the longest one, and noticed it didn't appear here. I thought the cause was my too long text. And this happened twice. Now I see all of them...
So here are 3 different descriptions of the process... :)
thanks guys,
salve,
martino

Thank you all.
The photo was taken beside a window, in the strongest sunshine hours. I put the camera on a tripod. Set the self-timer to 5 seconds. Tried to set the focus to the right distance. Took almost 150 shots - compensating the meter, spot metering, etc...
Then I spotted the original of this photo, and started to operate it in PS.
First of all I made this crop - it's a smaller part of the original image. After, used the tools of digital B&W process (more: http://194.100.88.243/petteri/pont/How_to/n_Digital_BW/n_Digital_BW/a_Digital_Black_and_White.html ).
Then I felt it's not such a good picture. I had a problem with it, but didn't know what. So I took it away.
One or two weeks later I brought it out again. 'Hey, it's not that bad...!'
Made the black border and saw it's quite good. And what about my sign on the bottom right? - thought I. Why not? For that matter that area seemed empty.
So I wrote the autogram on a real sheet, scanned it into the computer, selected it with the magic wand and put to it's place. But wait more...
I submitted that picture (very similar to this) on a hungarian internet picture forum (www.fotoarena.hu - my portfolio there: http://www.fotohaz.hu/fotoarena/showgallery.php/cat/500/ppuser/670 ). On that picture two or three shiny spots occured on my forehead, under my eye and on the glasses thanks to the strong Sun shining in directly - but that was what I wanted. Somebody wrote it's embarrassing - and then I agreed. He was right. So I retouched those areas - and you can see the result.
Oh my...almost 1600 characters... :)
I don't say this was the best way of making this work.
Hope I didn't forget anything :)
Thank you again and God bless you.
Regards,
Marton
