Tutorial: Lighting Effects filter for Photo-art, Using the

Thanks Lisa and Jeanie. Yes, now that you mentioned it, I think you are right that it works better on some images more than others. It does have a 3D look to it. I was really disappointed it turned out so small compared to how I saw it full size. I think it's a pretty cool technique though.

Yeah... do you wonder sometimes why we take perfectly good photos and grind them up - just because we can?

I like pic 2 A LOT!

Though it's difficult to appreciate the real beauty of your results, I can 'imagine' them. Very nicely done.

Thanks for playing along and twisting the dials a little. I really appreciate it when people take an idea and put their own spin on it. All of us benefit seeing the results and hearing (reading) the details.

Ya done good.

Nice results, T Paul.

Ever since I learned here how to do the impasto style texturing (thank you thank you thank you!) I have been experimenting with it and loving it. I recently uploaded one for Danny's butterfly mini-challenge #4 that turned out with A LOT of texture...almost like it's carved. If you don't frequent that area of the forum, you can see what I mean by going there:

This IS a good little known filter!

Woody, the lighting effects and outlines look so cool. I really love how this one turned out.

Here is a take on Mini-challenge #44.

The thing is once I tried the Blue channel I started fooling with the other channels. They all seem to work but with slightly different textures.

A very interesting effect was noticed using the transparency channel. Seemed to bring foreground up.

This one is the red channel, mountainous, 64% opacity with the transparency channel behind that one.
