I've never done photo art, but have been admiring what I'm seeing. What programs/plugins do you use to get that effect. It's way cool.

Pretty! I hate to sound stupid, but what's ahb?

[sponge03]

Its ok, I was like that a few weeks ago, its Art history brush and you may see PST sometimes which is pattern stamp tool, they are both in photoshop

[bpurvis]

Of course -- now I feel really dumb. I've just never used it. I'll look it up in one of my books and see how it works.

Thanks Larry. I'll look it up. Sometimes I can figure it out if I think about it, and sometimes I'm just left scratching my head. Should have figured this one out.
