Been a long time since I came out to play in these parts.

I noticed something interesting in Painter when using Clone tools. I noticed that you could change the source dynamically. Layers on, layers off, and what-not. So I prepared a few different layers in Photoshop, then turn them on/off as needed in Painter. You know, a line layer, a highlight layer, a shadow layer, and things like that. Then change it up as I felt the need when cloning in Painter. Water colour the lines, but get messy with the colours. Things like that.

Nice one, Stroker. Question, did you import a PSD file into Painter with layers intact? I've never tried your technique, but I can see possibilities. :-)

Yes, a PSD with layers intact. Once in Painter, you can turn layers on/off in the Source and the changes will be immediately reflected in the Clone. And don't forget that the Clone can have layers with some blending mode functionality.

I've also been playing with a similiar hack using just Photoshop. Art History + Smart Objects can do some cool things very similiar to cloning in Painter.

Been a long time since I came out to play in these parts.Welcome back! Don't be such a stranger. :)

Like what you did here. Interesting Painter tip, too. I'll have to try that.

Really cool interp, Steve. Give us the "how to" goods on this home run.

P: I don't know which one I like better, either. Makes me indecisive, too!

S: I'm looking fwd to messing with Smart Objects. How does the AHB/SO thing work that you mentioned?

Steve, your image blew me away. Look forward to some tips on how you did it. My interpretation used ahb + impressionist plugin.

I wanted to try this again in Painter with oils. Back to Photoshop for some layer tweeking.

Wow! Appreciate all the kind words re. my Model A interp.

OK, let me see if I can hit some of the high spots as far as what I did.

Started with photo enhance, then ran it thru Buzz Pro Simplifier and then did some layering and blending for color tweaking. Ended up with Virtual Painter. Impasto I think, but not sure. I think I covered everything, but didn't write anything down, as usual, and just stopped when it looked ok and before I overdid it.

Very nice pic Danny thanks.

I'm about to spoil that with my attempt.

Wow folks; makes me not want to render when I see these for you all. But my inkings pushed me anyway. Here (http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/1025/rp20model20aow4.jpg)'s the hi-quality version. :)

Cool picture, and some really cool interpretations. But, don't you think a car needs a driver?

Swampy

Great, Dave, but he needs both hands on the wheel....wait! it looks like a senior driver so he can drive anyway he wants to. LOL I think the driver needs to be darkened slightly. Too much light for him being inside the car.

Hey, Good point Swampy. I always drive holding the bottom of the wheel, not the top, because of a condition with my shoulders, and thus my thinking that he would be holding the bottom of the wheel. But you are right, the driver is to bright. How is this?

Danny called me out. Meh!

Art History Brush, Frequency, and Smart Objects (http://tech-slop.serveit.org/wiki/index.php?title=Art_History_Brush%2C_Frequency%2C_and_Smart_Objects)

Not my usualy style of writing, but hopefully it will get you going in the right direction. (I've been refraining from writing lately because my style has changed so much this past year.)

Also might want to read Frequency: High, Medium, and Low (http://tech-slop.serveit.org/wiki/index.php?title=Ra_frequencies1). Text-only tutorial, but it's a damn good one.

I decided to have a go at this as well. Used the filters in Photoshop.

You never seem to run out of clever new effects.

Sets off the A-model, (as we old-timers used to call 'em), really well.

Great car to look at, but not as good as modern cars to drive.
My effort - noise ninja, then Lucis art wyeth.

I hope it's not too photographic for the purists! :)

P.s. Was this car on the road before they invented number plates?

What a fun thread. There are so many different interpretations. Way to go folks.

I had to jump in as well. Enjoyed playing with this old car. Thanks Danny.
