I was playing around with a tutorial at myjanee.com and decided to try applying it to a photo. Seemed like this flower would be a good candidate.

So, I used the basic form, but applied it as a mask to the photo. Then continued with the steps to twirl and flip. I also added some bevel/emboss to each layer before flattening.

OOoooooo, Jeanie, I love it! I am a big fan of geometric art, as you can probably guess from my love of kaleidoscope images.

Isn't Janee's web page wonderful! She is so creative. I love the look of her web site...one of the best I've ever seen. It's so artistic, like everything else she does.

Thanks Phyllis. I love geometric art too. I recently started learning "unit origami", which is essentially building geometric forms out of folded papers, e.g. 30 pieces of paper are used to make a stellated icosahedron. Really neat stuff! Anyway, when I saw the tutorial for "spirals" on Janee's site, I just had to try it out! Of course then I had to figure out how I could apply it to a photo. I think I'm going to try her snowflake tutorial next.

Yeh, she certainly seems popular. She's always hanging around in the newsgroups "alt.graphics.photoshop" and "comps.graphics.apps.photoshop". A very helpful lady!
Well worth a look for those that don't already read newsgroups.

Hi Jeanie. I think your picture looks great. I love the way the colors blend into the pattern.

[jeaniesa]

Thanks Andrew!

Frank:

I'm with you on Janee's site. It was here site where I found (and took a first swipe at creating) some "photo-art." Guess you could say I got hooked.

Janee was an early mentor and posted one of my renditions on her site, my 1st pubic 'showing.'

She is a treasure.

Jeanie:

Gorgeous results. It reminded me that I've been meaing to add the popular "Kalaidascope thread" to the "Best of Forum," the one where you crafted all the cool actions." I'll do that right now.

Another flower one eh!
Well I can't remember all the steps, cos I decided to record an action for the frame.
Sorry

Here's mine....chall-on-ge!


I blurred the background more --saturated slightly and used brushes with a slight glow style --then soft overlay...vola!

Heres two images as once again i couldn't make my mind up between the two roses

I like the first one better, though only because of the texture.
Tried this on again myself, fiddling with masks, brushes and a little texture.

I liked the textured one better as well interesting how the adaptive equalization worked over a smudge though

It looks like you have another new style going Peter, It is very nice

Layers in Photoshop

1. New layer
2.Duplicate Background
3.Duplicate Bakground
4. Background

First, I turn off layers 1 and 2 so I can see what I am doing. Layer 3 Find edges, then desaturate, adjust brightness and contrast to get nice line drawing.

Then fill Layer 1 with white. Turn down opacity so I can see layer underneath and used a painterly brush, in this case, 27 pixel spatter brush and added in colour all over the place. Then returned to 100 % opacity and used watercolour filter.

Deleted layer 2.

Then Layer 1 darken and layer 2 overlay to bring in some colour from the original to "fill in the blanks" left by my painting.

Adjusted brightness/contrast to suit, and there it is =)

my painted rose, warm and contrast colors .. some textures, brushes and adjustment layers
