not sure i understand the question...what do you mean by "transform"?

Many programs have an emboss feature... that would be a place to start. Highlights and shiny parts would be tricky.

Play with contrast (increase it overall or localy) before embossing.. It should clear out most of the details you don't really need.

Post the photo and someone may be able to to it/tell you how to do it.

thanx guys, I'll try that.

Bucket/Fulmar, I'll try it first. If I get frustrated I'll post a pic.

You should probably get good results if you reduce it to the major facial features' lines.. Like this, for example.

I make rowing trophies buy photoshopping an image, printing it onto a decal paper, and sliding it on to a china plate.

They come out pretty good
