Great photo by Kevin.

I selected and cut the tiger. Bg painted with very weak blues and greens. Grass painted on own layer. Ran paint daubs, cutout and poster edges on all three separately. Dup. layers and fooled with blends to get 'punch'. I seem to be in a dark blue and yellow/orange rut lately. That's all I can remember.

kiska--cool effect that works great with that image.

I used the cymk masking http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8242 with impressionist and paint engine. Took a copy of the result into lucis and played a little then blended the results together.

Another blast from the past. I don't know why this didn't get more attention.

Been messing with torn edge filter again.

of all the animal kingdom, i think i like the big cats the best. i did two versions, both based on a filter forge rendition and then separate post work in Paint Shop Pro xi on both.

had to do one more. this one reminded me of those oil on black velvet paintings and i just couldnt pass it up :)

no post work on this one. straight out of filter forge.

Beautiful animal. Too bad they are getting more hard to find in the wild.

In agreement with you all on this one
Peter idont understand why it wasnt more popular
Craig that one does look like the black velvet paintings
And Steve yep extinction really does stink

used Mike Warrens emboss glow action on this tiger

Palms

I'm with you, Palms. How did we miss this one?

Mostly my watercolor technique with a couple tweaks.

AWE these are so pretty.:pleased:

Peter :oldman:

What a beautiful animal.

thanks, steve.

i like yours also, lk. mosaics are always fun :)

i like yours too, palms. very similar to mine but i think you brought the tiger out better.

and dee dee, that's marvelous. thank you :)

and susie, though i'm not crazy about the border, i do like the rest. thanks :)

You guys that use Paint Shop Pro, what do you think of X2? I have a chance to upgrade from PSP8 for a pretty good price, but don't know if I should.

cloned in artweaver. Shari if you can i would upgrade.

carb

definitely upgrade, shari. if you had 9, 10, or 11, i'd say it's up to you, but anything before 9, upgrade.

i just really like this picture. so, here's another, this time from a new filter forge filter i'm about finished making. this image helped me make a few final adjustments to the filter. then, off to Paint Shop Pro for a little post work.

it's not a typical look, but i sort of like it.

Buzz Pro, dodge and burn, texture added.

very nicely done, photomaster! love how you evened out the shadows and removed the blues from them. nice, clean look.

I was determined to keep track of what I did on this picture, but somewhere in the middle....:dizzy: I do know that I duped the original a couple of times, then ran Xero's lineart filter and merged layers, then I tried out a watercolor tut. Then I lost track, fiddled with color, and heavens knows what else. Finally I added a mask and some texture.
