PHOTO ART: Mini-Challenge #51- Village in Europe

[sylvia1065]

Thank you, Sponge. I use only Photoshop and plug-ins (Buzz, Impressionist, Lucisart and Topaz, to name a few).

PS: I do have Painter but hardly use it at all, as I'm pretty happy with Photoshop.

A New Jigsaw Puzzle.

I did a couple different layers; desaturated, brought out the flora, smudged, softened and textures...

[Kraellin]

nice, candice

and your mention of jigsaw puzzles reminded me of some FF filters. please, i'm not trying to one-up you here. quite the contrary, you inspired me

[Morty]

This is my first post - done in Photoshop, using layers and masks and different paint brushes, increased the saturation, and on one layer used b&w and created a clouds layer and made it an overlay layer and lessened the layer effect. At one time I used the artistic watercolor on a layer and lessened the opacity of that layer too. Then I used a filter and overlaid a yellow-orange gradient layer. I just played with it until I got this effect.

When finished I applied a smooth watercolor paper texture.

I just came home from a knee replacement so can't sit too long at the computer, but just couldn't resist this challenge. I love photoshop and the filters. I also use a Wacom digital tablet.

Hope to enjoy this site more once I'm recovered and can sit at the computer longer. Enjoyed everyone else's versions of the image.

[Veralisa]

I loved looking at so many creative variations on a tiny little pic!
For some reason I'm stuck in Flaming Pear's India Ink mode & I can't get out! Followed with colorizing on a color blend layer. Thought I'd try something jazzy and did a torn edge all around but that kind of backfired and I thought it looked most terrible. Methinks I need to reset the history menu. Anyway, here it is.

[Veralisa]

Carolina Carrie and Moo, Your versions really look great. I think the softness you both achieved lends a real vintage quality to this image.

[Sunbeams]

I used some photoshop filters, dodge and burn, clone tool, saturation tool and some others, I just didn't keep track of all of it. I used layers and hope you guys like it. What do you think?
