The GIMP is open source and all, but I eventually settled on a 2nd-hand copy of Photoshop from the Goodwill Computer Store for $2-4.00.

This mock-up — who is the audience? Blown up to poster size for a room full of people? 4000x6000 pixels?

Here is the method I use:

  • the photo
  • cut and shut in Photoshop
  • a tracing on thin paper laid over a printout, scanned back in
  • A final beauty pass in Photoshop

The next step could have details bleed through from a lower layer
