Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe portrait...

Does anybody know how to re-create the famous pop-art, except with a personalised picture? 21st b'day present, any packages/software/tools available?!?

There are a load of packages that will do this, if you are willing to spend a little time working with them. Adobe PhotoShop is probably the best, although there are others that are much cheaper that will do what you want. Have a look at these programmes, which are all freeware. http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/ http://www.g

Yes you can easily do it. I use Paint Shop Pro software it is free to try sharware for 30 days. It is really easy. One way would be to open the image in the software. Then create a layer (like putting a piece of see-through plastic on it) and painting the layer with whichever color you like. You can vary the opacity of the layer with simple slide controls. Estimated time to do all this about 40 seconds. Paint Shop Pro 7 is a really good piece of software and beats many many others in performance per pound spent.
