I was feeling a little abstract today.

This was the result of combining layers rendered by the Pop Art plugin (free from ThePluginSite) and Nik ColorFX PopArt plugin and applying one of the Wow chrome layer styles.

It's one of the many FREE (and very cool) Panos actions (this one is named "Deck")

I join the crowd to say it's a beautiful rendering.
Could you say how it was done?

Pavel, Thank you!
Here are the steps:
1. Dupe Bg
2. Smart blur
3. Unsharp mask - 125% amount
4. Stylize >Diffuse>Aniso
5. Unsharp mask
6. Add a new fill white layer, set blending mode to vivid light or another mode
7. Paint with a large soft brush changing opacity in vary modes
8. You can use Burn tool and set opacity of the layer to 10%
Enjoy!
Dan

That's why I love Artrage so much

Took a lot time to get there, generally speaking. When I compare my first tries in Artrage with what I do now, that's simply said two completely different worlds. It's a painting simulation afterall..

All in all I soo happy that I found this program and now guess where I found it
