Guidelines? Give 'em a rest!

Since I'm going on vacation and won't be back for a week, let's give providing the detailed steps a vacation, too. As a reward for so many fine writeups so far the how-to detail will be optional for this mini-challenge.

Still, limit your submissions to no more than two (2).

PHOTO ART: Mini-challenge #143 – San Marco

Here’s another “mini-challenge” to play with in the Photo-based Art category until the next major challenge is posted here.

There's a lot of detail, but the possibilities look promising.

Vijayan--I like the warm color tone you gave the buildings.

Don--Your action was a winner on this one. Looks great.

I started with the 4th buzz pro tutorial found here http://www.dynamicdesign.biz/gallery/gallery12.htm

Changes made were:
1. On the ink stack, I used 100 for the simplifier and chose brightness and contrast by eye.
2. Used soft light for the blending mode on the chrome layer
3. Used overlay rather than screen on the merged layer
4. Ignored the last 3 steps
5. Added a texture.

Beautiful, Cheryl.
Boy, this is exactly the type of photo I designed my Cobblestone for. I have some kitchen tins that look just like this.

Cheryl H · #5 07-25-2003, 03:12 PM

Bill--I really like that cobblestone. I found your directions for it somewhere and played with it on a few of my own photos--it's great!

It sure would be nice if it's part of the new action pack. (Danny--hint, hint-no pressure

)

Thanks, Cheryl. Yes, it is already in the set. So begin digging out the Pastel Light 118 brush. I like it best. In fact at one time I had the action load the brush for you, but then realized that everytime I ran the action, it and all the other Natural Brushes 2 got loaded. Had about 15 copies installed!
Best regards, Bill

great colors and I like every admission
cheryl, I should buy the buzz filter. Every admission looks good with it!

I tried a dark version myself, it's almost a pity for the beautiful image!

I liked everyone's rendition of this one, and especially liked photomauler's, Cheryl's, and Gina's use of color. I'm just a newbie, but had fun playing with this one. I think I played too much though! The file was too large and really had to be cut down in size to send it, so this looks pretty sad.

gina · #11 07-27-2003, 02:29 AM

Don,

good job. Though you wouldn't think from my submissions I like the muted versions usually very much but I usually can't stop in time myself

.
So Annadarling I totally know how you feel

. The colors seemed to be allright so you just start again and play some more. It doesn't hurt when you fall here

well, I was once in Venice and I can't keep away from playing with this image. I made two more and I promise I'll stop after those

thanks everyone, this picture sure can take a lot!

Don, I saw in your screenshot you used the warmth, brilliance filter a few times. What exactly does it do to your picture? Does it shift everything to warmer hues or what? I would like to try it mimicked with the built in PS filters
