Nice thread to resurrect.

Photoshop manipulation using Pixel Bender - Oil Paint

Hi all - I have never posted on here before and am pretty much a 'beginner' at this sort of thing. Have dabbled with photo art for awhile but only in experimenting and trying different things....no real plan of attack. I couldn't resist having a little bit of play with this photo while trying to get more acquainted with Photoshop Elements 8. I basically just used the Diffuse filter along with Xero's Illustrator filter and messed around with various blending modes.

Hello Sh@ron and welcome aboard. Glad you lept in with both feet. Have fun, experiment a lot and play to your heart's content!

Hello, I've been a member for awhile, but I don't think I've ever posted. One of your members also belongs to another forum that I belong to and she suggested that I become involved. So, here is my first post.

Welcome, Magicshell...

Nice interpretation on this one. Glad you gave it some new life.

If you'd care to share a few words about your tools and methods, I'm sure many -- including myself -- would be interested in reading them.

Danny, Here's some of the workflow for this painting. Prior to running several different DAP64 applications, I make enhancements in Photoshop including Topaz adjust 5, HDR Sketch. After I run DAP, I combine them in Photoshop and use masks and blending modes. I also apply a sketch layer and sometimes a watercolor layer. I add watercolor textures and papers and also use a lot of adjustment layers trying to achieve the watercolor look. Some of the tutorials that have helped are from Kapic http://kapic.ru/ and Piker 77's emulation.

I haven't seen this post before so thanks for bringing it back, Magicshell. Your rendition is beautiful. Thanks for the tutorial link.

This version is a combination of SnapArt, DAP, and Akvis Sketch blended in photoshop with layer masks.

Thanks for sharing your approach. Some people use a lot of tools "just to use them." You use many tools and get very nice results.

Hope to see more of your creativity in the future.
