Impressionist, Xero filters (including Pastelize and Radiance), Impressionist, Retinex (may not be in this order). So many blends and smudings later, voila (added cloth texture too).

It is so pretty, I wanted to see more. :-)

I increased the canvas size horizontally and transformed a copy of the original to make a reflection on the left side. Makes the whole dock look wider and like there are more people there to greet you when your boat docks! LOL

It was kinda neat that the obscure tall building on the left edge of the original became the focal point of the expanded version. I did the Transform by simply dragging the center right "handle" to the left all the way across the photo and out the other side until the new canvas area was covered then merged that layer down.

dee dee,

i'll have to take your word for it. dont know what the 'transform' tool does exactly, but it sounds a lot like the 'perspective' or 'skew' type tools in psp.

at any rate, i like the look and thanks for enlarging

Hello all. Here's is a watercolor done in Painter with sandy pastel paper. Also used KPT Pyramid Paint in Painter - for the first time. Lost a lot in the resizing, especially in the paper texture. Anyhow, out of time so here it is.

Swampy, that's a very cool panorama, great idea!

Margaret, excellent work! Love the sandy paper especially!

And even with the losses in resizing, which we all understand the reasons and needs to have the limit

, it still looks good, they all do!

Lovely, Margeret, Love the choice of matte color. It goes well with the subject. I really wished I had time to play with painter. I've got version 9 loaded on my hard drive, but no time to PLAY!!

Thank you Garazon.

First one has some "artistic" blur applied..
Second one...well, I lost track of all the steps, but it started out as a colored pencil sketch. Didn't quite end up that way, though. Oh well...that's the beauty of photo art, I guess!
