| | Well i thought you were mad trying to smudge this picture too much detail and so i thought i would have a go at it, and yes i can confirm you are barking mad to try it (although you havent done to bad)
first of all ran the action effie basic (download from here http://homepages.slingshot.co.nz/~mikefinn/action.html it is free but i use it sometimes when i am in a hurry before i smudge it speeds things up and you can see where to smudge (the squiggly lines ) ) then i started to smudge then gave up added a find edge layer and overlayed and reduced opacity
Palms ps Craig i am going to have to have lessons of you for cleaning up are you as good with housework ?????

Littlecoo: Try this site for the action, it's about half way down the page http://www.kolbotn-fk.com/artikkel05.htm There's lots of stuff there, and Danny had a hand in the sketch action as well......John. |

| | | Interesting effect. Bit monotone, but with a little variation has definite possibilities.
I haven't started playing with this picture yet, kinda liked it as it is, but you've given me a few ideas for manipulating it a touch.
Thanks. |

| | Dup, ran Color to Alpha on top layer and set this layer property to Screen. Dupped this layer to taste and flattened. Dupped, ran Flaming Pear's Mr. Contrast on Top layer and blended to taste. Flattened and ran GREYCstoration, adjust sat/color and saved (well some cleaning smudges were required). |
