Have fun.

Been a long time since I came out to play in these parts.

I noticed something interesting in Painter when using Clone tools. I noticed that you could change the source dynamically. Layers on, layers off, and what-not. So I prepared a few different layers in Photoshop, then turn them on/off as needed in Painter. You know, a line layer, a highlight layer, a shadow layer, and things like that. Then change it up as I felt the need when cloning in Painter. Water colour the lines, but get messy with the colours. Things like that.

Nice one, Stroker. Question, did you import a PSD file into Painter with layers intact? I've never tried your technique, but I can see possibilities. :-)

[Stroker]

Yes, a PSD with layers intact. Once in Painter, you can turn layers on/off in the Source and the changes will be immediately reflected in the Clone. And don't forget that the Clone can have layers with some blending mode functionality.

I've also been playing with a similiar hack using just Photoshop. Art History + Smart Objects can do some cool things very similiar to cloning in Painter.

Welcome back! Don't be such a stranger.

Like what you did here. Interesting Painter tip, too. I'll have to try that.

Really cool interp, Steve. Give us the "how to" goods on this home run.

P: I don't know which one I like better, either. Makes me indecisive, too!

S: I'm looking fwd to messing with Smart Objects. How does the AHB/SO thing work that you mentioned?

[Alcar]

Steve, your image blew me away. Look forward to some tips on how you did it. My interpretation used ahb + impressionist plugin.

I wanted to try this again in Painter with oils. Back to PS for some layer tweeking.

Wow! Appreciate all the kind words re. my Model A interp.

OK, let me see if I can hit some of the high spots as far as what I did.

Started with photo enhance, then ran it thru Buzz Pro Simplifier and then did some layering and blending for color tweaking. Ended up with Virtual Painter. Impasto I think, but not sure. I think I covered everything, but didn't write anything down, as usual, and just stopped when it looked ok and before I overdid it.

Very nice pic Danny thanks.
Some great renditions here.
I'm about to spoil that with my attempt.

Wow folks; makes me not want to render when I see these for you all. But my inkings pushed me anyway. Here's the hi-quality version.

Cool picture, and some really cool interpretations. But, don't you think a car needs a driver?
