Patricia...

[Kraellin]

Craig....Ah the magic of filter forge....you are doing amazing things with it...Frozen ice is my fave of those two...will check it out later in the day...But your smudge is really beautiful and mystical...cant stop looking at it...Mr Craig.....you are one talented guy...

i am humbled by such praise (of course i'm beaming also ) thank you, patricia.

johnnieb,

love the depth on those. well done!

palms,

also very lovely. is ahb part of cs2 or painter or both?

[Kraellin]

oh, and patricia, that ice one from filter forge is just part of another filter i havent released yet. but, when i saw your comments i decided it was time to make that effect a separate filter. it's now essentially done. i'm still hoping the next release of FF has more control components and i'm somewhat waiting for that to happen before i release some of these. also, the submission queue over there is currently broken. lol. so even if i wanted to upload it i couldnt

These are lovely flowers to work on Patricia
The watercolors are all beautiful,
Patricia, I especially like your first rendition
Palms love your ahb work! That one you were going to get rid of is WOW!
Janet I love how your background came out.


Swampy, hey! that frame, crop and colors work great!
Craig, I like what you did with the smudge, just enough detail left! the frozen filter looks excessivey cool,
Jonnie your smudge is lookin very painterly, I like the 2nd one best
Oltenius, I'm not crazy about your gold colored frame but I just love your painting! Thanks for the flowers!
Steve I think the frame is fine, anchors the flowers so they aren't floating away!

I did a chalk and charcoal
Like Craig I am having a lot of fun with Filter Forge. This is a filter I have submitted but haven't heard back on yet (hope they fix the submission problem soon!)
had to compress it a lot, hope it doesn't lose too much

Like the Aniso and shiney canvas feel about this Sherry.

[oltenius]

Northernshadow, where is my frame? I don't see it!! Thanks for the comments.

Sherry...

Thankyou for your comments...

Love your painting...looks like you have sprinkled fairy dust on it!....

Patricia...

thank you i like yours as well. your water color filter or another?

i've got several FF filters i'm waiting to release till they fix the submission queue and do the next upgrade. mostly, i'm waiting for more control components. if and when we get that, i'll release quite a few, i hope.

craig

[Northernshadow]

Thanks for the comments!

Craig, it was my filter.
a new one Chalk and Charcoal
I'm hoping for more control components too, ya know at first I thought they really wouldn't be necessary but now I need them!!! I'm looking forward to seeing your new filters, that program is just to fun to play with!

[Kraellin]

well, my filter forge is down at the moment as i wait for a new license key. but, i did manage to do a few before that happened.

this one is from a filter forge filter by steviej.

[Peter S]

A very metallic feel with that one Craig.
Went in a slightly different way myself, My first post after the op, so I didn't spend a long time on this really.
A very nice picture Patricia thanks for posting.

Peter

[Kraellin]

thanks, peter. steviej's filter is called 'Cool Metal'.

i like yours as well. has some nice depth and texture.

[Kraellin]

ok, this is probably not going to work very well due to the file size limits, but i ran your picture through a filter forge filter called 'stereogram' by richard bartlett. get out your 3d glasses folks!

[Kraellin]

ok, here's another one you need 3d glasses for. this one is done in a filter forge filter called 'CF Anaglyph Basic Edition' by CFandM. if you dont know what an anaglyph is, do a google define: on it. it's very much like a stereogram.

and again, i hope the compression doesnt ruin this. notice the depth of the image relative to the page it's displayed on. and yes, i'm serious about the 3d glasses

[johnnieB]

Kraelin, don't laugh, but I happen to have a pair of 3D glasses courtesy of the SI swimsuit issue -- lol -- both of your images look great!

[Kraellin]

hehehe, SI included 3d glasses with the swimsuit issue? boy, i'll bet i'm missing something good there

there are some better examples of anaglyphs on the filterforge.com site, a couple of which are quite impressive.

oh, and thanks

[patriciakay]

If only, I wasn't allowed. Tried to sneak back but was strictly rationed to looking only. Started again, slowly, after about two days.

[Kraellin]

thanks, patricia. always loved that original picture.
