Painted Adobe House

Great, Steve! :-)

In "real life" paint (charcoal, pencil etc.) is applied to a surface and the surface has texture. I guess this is why I just expect to see some texture in a "painted" piece. Not that you have to apply texture, or apply it to the entire piece. I think it just helps define "painted" and "photo". :-)

Tried high pass sharpening here.

Any better depth?

I've taken the liberty Steve to put your original beside the sharpened rendition. Personally, I think the sharpened one has more depth, snap and sense of detail but retains the wonderful colors in the house and sky.

I like them both ok. But I can also see the difference, and what you saw lacking.

I wouldn't be hesitant about going with either technique on future images. Would, of course, depend on the image I was working with.

Appreciate all the input.

We just love New Mexico when we can get there. I just found this one after finally reading some of my email. Here is my trial To many steps for my brain to recall, and have my history settings at only 30 steps, so...............

I went to upload my file and forgot where I saved it. Talk about a poor memory. So I made another variation. Here they both are.
