I took this today, so have not had time to do anything with it myself yet.

Have a play!

Like your frame Swampy; I need to start using them, but at only 100K, I have to eliminate for now. I know this one's a little cliche', but someone was bound to do one. I pretty much used the steps outlined here (http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1006&message=18630798) (really muted the vector layer though); it's the other (see thread link) that was a little different. I also did the other in the preprocessing. I used Overlay instead of Grain Extract to get the soft glow effect. I also used RyanS Try2 instead of CherylH's Finger Paint 1 preset for Impressionist. That all said, the result speaks for itself. You all know I never really use the same steps twice; it's in the flexability that the art shows through. I hope you all think so too.

Nice water colour effect there, though very sexist to crop out the dad.

Like the textures very nice

When I see stuff like these, I'm glad I do :bow:
