| | | Mustangs and Junk Is it ok that I share this pic? I am not sure what to do with it, so I thought I would throw it out for all you artists to play. Have fun if you will.

| | | I used curves with the pencil to get the funky colors. Smudge, grain.
Question: When in the curves dialog/pencil; is there any way to take a step or two back WITHOUT resetting the whole thing?? |

| | | Yes, it's a tough photo. I ended up using India Ink (can't remember the settings) and enhanced the color a bit. |

| | | Kind of muddled my way through this...
Did a buzz layer, duped and on L2 added Impressionist/Goauche
Merged - Auto Contrast
New Layer with a gradient which sapped the colour from the
outside edges (Mode - Color)
Merged - added a texture. |
