Re: Amsterdam channel

These are all great. Amica, I like your crazy version and I like what Palms did with it, too. Dan, yours is particularly convincing.

I did mine with DAP and Photoshop.

Re: Amsterdam channel

I like your grungy look dcdavid.

While I was painting this my 5yo wanted to try it too.
I set up the art history brush for her with a sketch layer on top. And she decided what parts to paint. And then of course she told me I needed to post it as well.
So here are both our versions. Not smart aleck comments about whose is better please.

Click here for full version of hers.

Re: Amsterdam channel

Hello

These great creative photos. I like them.

Thank you for the info. Photoscape comes with a few handy features (GIF animation, RAW converter, batch re-naming). Do you like it?
