You're a nasty, nasty lady! The trouble is we can't get back at you cause your winters aren't that bad either!

Cheers

:bawling: :bawling: :lmao: It's a glorious 33C today and I'm only a few metres from the beach. :classic:

Mike Finn's "hydro" action.

Took it to Painter for strokes and distortion. Back to Photoshop for saturation and diffuse glow.

Not sure the action i took other than i used painter8 with mouse.

(Boyfriend has given me money to get the tablet and pen i want now i got to find a place that sells them other than online).

You'll be cooking with gas once you get the tablet! :happy:

Played about with colors.
Cloned with variable pencil in painter 8.

W....O....W Jaykita! I love how you play. :bow:

Added extra colours to the water. Experimented with Painter's Impressionistic Cloner, then Distorto (Marble ?)just on the water. Grainy water to soften the girl's skin. Finished off with Impressionistic Filter/Free Daubs on a second duplicated layer, erased a little to reveal her skin. Think I duplicated the merged layers and on 2nd layer, Multiply Mode 20%. Merged again.

Like the 1st BeachFun, I did a Painter8 DigitalWC clone. Still lots of fun and maybe a bit better result. Here I started with a hand drawn outline.

Neve & Jaykita... Great work :bigthmb:

-Mark

Great result Mark! :thumbsup:

Mark that is an exceptionally nice hand drawing look!!!

Thats truly wonderful! Lovely soft hand painted effect.

Here's another by me. Using a layer mask, i first outlined the image with a very small sized brush. Then i used vp airbrush on original, placed it below the outline layer. Added another layer mask to the outline layer and filled in the colors with a paintbrush at different opacities.

Outstanding result Jaykita...I wish I knew exactly how you go about this but I don't use Photoshop much and useless with masks....'bout time I learned, uh! :nod:

Hi Neve. :wavey: Thank you so much for the appreciation and sorry to take long to reply.
Do you have Photoshop already installed? You know, until i started with ps, i used Paint Shop Pro too, tho an older version 6, and corel photopaint, among others. But for me, there's a lot "more" fun working with ps7. :happy: There are some great tutorials on the web which you can google out for layer masks. I can't say offhand, but Jay Arraich, for e.g., is good. Believe me, once you understand the concept of layer masks, you won't need any extra explanation from me, I think... :D

Thanks for your input Jaykita, much appreciated. Going on holiday soon and going to put a wee note up to remind myself to learn more of Photoshop and masks when I get back! I've heard of Jay A and have quite a heap of other Photoshop tutes to refer to already. It's all about time and more importantly how much my old brain can cope with .....:lmao:

:wavey: Thanks again for your encouragement.

I forgot what I did but I used standard photoshop filters on a copied second layer and erased the face and lightened it by turning the blending mode to screen.

I darkened and blurred the periphery. I apologize for being so vague.

How unusual, great depth effect on the water Phil.

Very nice effect to focus the attention on the child. Good job Phil.
