Just a Yellow Texas flower.

gholmes1936 · #1 09-23-2009, 08:14 PM

I forget where I took this flower, but it was here in Texas. I used Photoshop CS4 to create my rendition from the original. Just basically used the spin technique overlaid the original and then a mask bringing back some of the original with a black brush. See what I have learned from you all.

One of these is the original and one of these is the reworked one. I still don't know which one to load first. <<<sigh>>>

That came out pretty nice, I like the bright colors and the spin effect. It makes sense to me to have the original is first and the rendition second, not sure really if there is a convention.

Cool result Gunner; hope you don't mind humoring my binge with me. Been doing candle wax for a few days now (even made a few candle stick renders too; lol).

Had a few tries at this one, but was hard not to wreck the original beauty of the image. Lyle that looks close to the felt painting effect I am looking for.

gholmes1936 · #5 10-04-2009, 02:05 PM

Hey what cool effects you guys did. I've never been able to do anything with the glass thing.

Gunner went a bit doolally on this one (what is expected really the grandkids had just gone

getting calmer now though )

Great shot though love the colours

Nicely different methinks,

gholmes1936 · #8 10-04-2009, 05:21 PM

Lyle, How did you manage to make this one? Can you recall what you used, etc. I absolutely love it.

lkroll · #9 10-04-2009, 09:18 PM

Did a few of these already Gunner. I first enhanced the Dynamic Range, then I used a Plastic Wrap Script-fu followed by GREYCstoration plugin (actually used the older version since I like it's interface better; can't find that link though).

palms · #10 10-05-2009, 06:39 AM

Gunner not up to Lyle's standards by a long shot
but had a quick play and got this which with more tweeking would get you closer
using the plastic wrap filter settings 17,11,16
not had much luck using this filter before but on flowers especially strong ones it seems to do ok
so have a mess around and see what you can come up with ?

Thanks that works also. At least you all have given me the starting points. Lyle's need translating into Photoshop from Gimp. Now I just need to spend the rest of today, tomorrow and the next day working on this.

Kraellin · #12 10-11-2009, 12:33 AM

a bit of a van gogh look... sort of.

lynn55 · #13 10-11-2009, 01:27 PM

I created Glowing Edges, high contrast and saturation.

lynn55 · #14 10-11-2009, 01:35 PM

I created Ink Outlines.

amica999 · #15 10-11-2009, 02:18 PM

Lovely renditions by all so far. Impressionist here:

Kraellin · #16 10-11-2009, 11:50 PM

Thanks Craig, the second one is a complete DAP rendition, preset "Sunflower"

gholmes1936 · #18 10-12-2009, 09:11 AM

How can I obtain the results that amica got only using a Mac OS 10.6?

Anyone?

Gunner, the first one is simply a couple of impressionist-layers blended/mask together and a texture layer on top for the paint effect..

The second is DAP, which is currently only available for Win sys, I'm afraid.
But I believe that the curved strokes could be obtained with the liquify/free transform tools. Haven't tried as I had no need to do so yet.

gholmes1936 · #20 10-12-2009, 12:11 PM

Used Filter Forge tho, then liquify. Sharpened slightly in PS. Is this similar, or what?

great attempt, looks good...maybe a few black lines for more depth? Look for Palms' Sketch Action to do it for you...or dup layer, desat copy desat layer - invert - blend color dodge - gauss blur this until the lines show up - merge these 2 b/w layers put on top an blend multiply - for more effect use levels on this...

I think you did a great job anyway.

gholmes1936 · #22 10-12-2009, 06:58 PM

I swear this is my last attempt on this flower.

Why? It looks so great, Gunner. Well done

mikajomc · #24 10-13-2009, 02:11 PM

I completely missed this one.
Wonderful works by all of you!
Gunner I especially like your first spinny one. And the photo itself is beautiful!

Kraellin · #25 10-13-2009, 11:23 PM

ah, gunner, i see i've hooked another on filter forge

for photo art, the resources there are endless. i've got quite a few unpublished filters i use here. talk to me

jordan, looks good

Kraellin · #26 10-14-2009, 12:02 AM

and as the boys from monty python might say, 'and now for something a little different'

mikajomc · #27 10-14-2009, 05:19 AM

thank you Craig

I like your color change.
You and Lyle are definitely the filter kings!

gholmes1936 · #28 10-14-2009, 11:28 AM

Craig I just love your latest rendition. What an impact! Wow, etc. I myself don't contribute to F.F., I am just a user, but what a wealth of tools form some very creative people, like you. Thanks for doing what you do.

Xrider · #29 10-14-2009, 04:17 PM

great flower to work with, painted in ps using the smudge tool.

gholmes1936 · #30 10-14-2009, 07:36 PM

Really nice effect X.
