Gosh, what a lovely cottage. I want to live here too Palms!

Mine is Topaz Simplify - a hard pencil sketch, then I lowered the opacity, then I did some mucking around in Photoshop

I thought the first cottage looked a bit lonely and the second one is considered a cottage?

Wow.

First, played w/colors & blending modes, masked in a more active looking background and then added some overall texture w/ flaming pear's India Ink. I haven't used India Ink in ages so it was fun to get into it again.

Beautiful area, Palms. Thanks.

Nice pics, Palms
Trying to watercolor

Nice pics Palms. Here's a couple from me.

Thanks

trance edit.

Veralisa · #17 10-28-2010, 01:41 PM

Nasturtium, your version is great...love the technique. But, forgive me, what is "trance edit", or is that a joke.

PhotoComix · #18 10-28-2010, 06:23 PM

wow a lot of excellent manipolation here

I am shocked by the file size limit...i can imagine how would be possible show the difference between a bad and good retouch if the image size should stay below 100kb
I had not only to compress the jpg much more of what i think reasonable but even to scale down a lot to stay within the limit

Anyway is the same for all so i will stop to voice my astonishment

Normally i would have used gimp & gmic but here i try to with a program used only once before...and obviously i found too boring read the help or watch tut before start

those the results

ERRATA CORRIGE

i uploaded a wrong file..the first is done with gimp& gmic

lkroll · #19 10-28-2010, 06:35 PM

These look great PC.

PhotoComix · #20 10-28-2010, 06:36 PM

this is with that other one with new unknow and bit weird program...
well ....with the good old xnview to scale asimmetrically the original,
DAP for the paint effect
and again xnview to apply a frame and do the miracle to shrink the file size under the 100kb

thank you.

It's just a joke. You know those edits that you're not really sure all the steps you took...but just followed your ideas as they happened?

palms · #22 10-29-2010, 02:31 AM

Veronica nice work like the texture i too must look up india ink again

Alex nice watercolour

Grant a nice pair of cottages the first ones colours do it for me

Nancy great "trance edit" it has worked out well

Photocomix yes the file size is small but as you say it is what we all use unless you are a patron but you do get used to it and if you want to you can Add a link to a larger image, nice work and great frame on your last one

What gorgeous photos thanks very much for sharing such a shame I just don't have free times at the moment to have a play

ghealy · #24 11-14-2010, 06:28 AM

Realize it's been a few weeks since the last post, but liked that first cottage image and wanted to have a play. Done in DAP & PSPv9.

Thanks for looking.

lkroll · #25 11-21-2010, 07:08 PM

Used my new toy and a few GIMPy blends for this aged painting look.

Christmas has come early for you Lyle ? nice work

lkroll · #27 11-22-2010, 10:03 PM

More like Christmas came at the expense of my family (less money to spend on them now). lol

I have actually been in a toll cottage like this one. - It looks nice but ut's not easy to get furniture that fits.
