Oooo.. very nice, Kiska!

nice oil, kiska!

dee dee,

well, it's somewhat moot, i'm afraid; at least for me. seems psp has no texturizing mapping that i can find. so, i'll have to come back to this one whenever i get photoshop. too much that doesnt make sense to me without being able to actually get into ps and see stuff. and psp just crashed on me while trying out some stuff along these lines. boy, that is aggravating when you've got something going you like and the bloody software says 'tough crap; we're quitting now'. grrrrr!

[Swampy]

Mmm Craig. It may be in PSP, but just different buzz words.

In PS you have to save out a native PSD file first. Perhaps you have to save a native PSP file of the background?

The actual texture mapping is done in the Texture filter of PS. There is a pop-up in that dialog box that let's you load graphics or textures saved as PSD. JPEG doesn't work, nor TIFF.

Seems that if you can load 3rd party textures, you could load a PS file as a texture map.

Sorry, if you can't do that, but then you have access to cool Windows stuff that I can't do. :-)

Thanks guys!

here my version (simplified via vectorization, blended with outline, texturized)

I used Gimp on Linux

nice, barbara. looks like watercolor on absorbent, thick, coarse paper.

Had a go at this one using a watercolor effect I made up a couple of years ago.

Palms 1 thanks for the nice comment on my try at this. However it wasn't hard to get something good from such a wonderful example to start with.

Again thanks,
