After Peter's recent trip to morgue file I thought i would copy him and found this one, which looks like it has quite a few possibilities as well as being cute

Palms

Watercolor with Twisting Pixels

That's a great start chillin

Palms

Well that was like throwing the gauntlet down. I had to have a go at after that.
:cool:


Peter

Nice picture Palms and I like your minimalistic result


a few of my tries - wild, mild and poster effect

Regards
BobMc

Tried to emulate the feel though. :)

In Photoshop used impressionist, then lighting effects with 'white is high' selected at 10

Well Peter the gauntlet was picked up well nice one

Bob after studying your three i cant make my mind up which i prefer as i like all three

lkroll like that one but no explanation ?

Gilbert nice use of impressionist

Palms

And another possibility

Palms

Darling little girls. I was such a klutz at dance school. At the recitals they always made me a tree. LOL

Thanks for the play, Palms.

Wow folks. I hope this one gets wings and keeps flying. To answer Palms, I again used so many filters and GIMP tricks that it would be rubbish to try to explain a potpourri of things (even if I did remember some; lol). :)

The look-out !

Tree's are ok Swampy, myself i prefered tap dancing as i was more like a carthorse ! Nice work as well love the background colour

OlBaldy I like the look out great idea

Palms

A watercolor.

What really bugs me is not knowing which one it was that lost the contact lens.

Ha Ha Peter really like this one, any chance of a quick "how to "?

Palms

I'm sure they all turn into swans eventually - they always do!
Great picture to work on, thanks Palms.

Not easy but I'll try.
I smoothed out A dupe of the BG to get rid of any jpeg stuff as this causes too much trouble later.
Then duped again and used Redfields++ bas relief. and set mode to overlay and reduced opacity down a little , I only wanted to highlight some of the details.
Duped the smoothed layer again and moved to the top and blend mode to colour, also boosted the colours slightly to make them more obvious.
Created a new layer filled with 50% grey and set to overlay, applied a pattern overlay layer style, (can't remember which pattern), to this layer set the mode in this to overlay scaled it down slightly a reduced its opacity slightly.
It was still a little dark so added a new layer and filled with white, added a mask and hid parts to taste. then reduced the opacity further to get the final effect.
There was more but writing it down is hard as I threw a lot of it away and redid things.
Now if you were sitting here - no prob would be able to show you it all.


Hope it gets you in the right direction.

BTW I'm sure I've missed something in my explain but can't quite put my finger on it yet.

Xero's Supersmooth set to Grain Extract and merged down and set to Overlay for the poor man's Lucis effect. I then did some NI cleaning and and additional Supersmooth step with a few addition color/sat enhancements. Here (http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/5087/dance029jl4.jpg)'s the complete rendering; attached is a lower quality crop. :)

This is so cute.
And everyone has done a great job.
Here is a different take on it, I was playing with blending modes.

Thought I would pop back in and say...

WOW!! ..

Incredible, artistic talent being shown here.. Great work People!!

Not that i am awkward or anything Peter but i will have the bottom purple cup please :)

very nice lkroll the clothes look like satin

Cathy I like the different take it really glows

glad you popped back olbaldy don't forget to pat your own back ! !

Palms

Glad you liked this one Palms. Xero's Supersmooth really helped a lot with the gradient transistion effect. I use this filter a lot because it can do so many things including Aniso effects. :)

Thought this need a bit of character, love what you've all done so far and amazed at the textures swampy adds. My humble offering to the boiling pot

Beautiful picture and excellent versions!!
Done with my 5A tut.
Sylvia

Excellent additions Cassidy and Sylvia

Palms

Thank you, Palms :pleased:
