Family day out on the river

I took this today, so have not had time to do anything with it myself yet.

Have a play!

The Impressionist.

Like your frame Swampy; I need to start using them, but at only 100K, I have to eliminate for now. I know this one's a little cliche', but someone was bound to do one. I pretty much used the steps outlined here (really muted the vector layer though); it's the other (see thread link) that was a little different. I also did the other in the preprocessing. I used Overlay instead of Grain Extract to get the soft glow effect. I also used RyanS Try2 instead of CherylH's Finger Paint 1 preset for Impressionist. That all said, the result speaks for itself. You all know I never really use the same steps twice; it's in the flexability that the art shows through. I hope you all think so too.

Swampy

Nice water colour effect there, though very sexist to crop out the dad.

Ikroll

Like the textures very nice

Another one.

Don't remember all that I did (threw the book at it; started out to do a sketch). Oh well; hope you all like it.

You know when I go out I find myself thinking "Will that make a good post at RetouchPRO"
When I see stuff like these, I'm glad I do
