Thanks, Palms - these are nifty images and there are several artified versions here I like a lot, including (but not limited to) your nice painting of the pond (why didn't anybody else do that one?) and Alex's third version, which I thought especially noteworthy.

I wanted to do the mill building but first I had to get rid of the butts in front of the door, which bothered me. I used BuZZ and Impressionist.

Thought I would try the pond one.
I think I've mad the reeds look like they're on fire, didn't mean to.
The wheel - a little Lucis, Bas Relief, noise reduction, Kyoto colour- mostly.

Thanks Palms, I keep saying lucis likes water for some reason. But his time I only used it at a very low level, the details were brought out by the Bas relief, and the colour tones by Kyoto colour, There were a couple of other tweaks but all rather minor.
here's one of the steam engine done in a very similar manner

Photoshop I hope thats not an anagram!!!!

DC's ICE4 and Xero's Caravaggio filters with a blend of vector simplication. Some additional enhancements using AAA Foto Fix filter and voila. Man; 17 percent quality to get it to fit; oh well.


Click here for the hi-quality version.

Palms, I'm embarrassed to admit I don't quite entirely remember - but I think it was Watercolor->True watercolor FB. I think. I do know that whatever preset I used I tweaked it a little. And I gave it a heavy dose of sharpening afterward.

Glad you liked it - thanks.

and here my version (again in buzz-direction ..)

I used Gimp on Linux

[alexmeta]

Very nice Alex the third one has caught my eye the most, may i ask how you done it
Palms

Hi Palms. Thank you for your comments.
It's very simple - few times Smart Blur with normal mode, than Texturizer and USM.
dkcoats thanks.

Thanks Alex, funny how we usually look for a hard way of doing things when the easy ones are very effective
