Some Madeira Pics to play with

[amica999]

Have fun, my friends :-)

Thanks for the play Amica. Did some tonemapping before feeding that result into multiple blends of PostworkShop to get the Renaissance interpretation.

[ghealy]

Oh these look like fun. Thanks, Amica. I'll be back. <smile>

Lyle: You're producing some great stuff with PWS. Really like this one.

[ghealy]

Love this image. Thanks for the play, Amica

[amica999]

Lyle, that looks absolutely great!
Gene, so lovely, I like a lot

Here's another one: Topaz Adjust to start with, then a couple of blendings in PWS :-)

[lkroll]

Thanks for the comments Gene/Amica; like both of your versions too. Still experimenting with PwS after going through my illustrative process for this one.

[amica999]

Nice one, Lyle. I have to start playing a bit more ith pws, but too little time :-)

Here's my play with the first pic

[geepee52]

Lovely photos Amica. Thanks for the play.

Grant

Great pictures Amica. Here's one with a pastel pencil look. More later.

[lkroll]

Finishing the trifecta Amica. Again, thanks for the play.

[Nasturtium]

just trying out some new things. Thanks for the play!

[amica999]

Grant, this looks so dreamy, great!
Skip, I like this pastel pencil look. Works well!
Lyle, interesting color splashes :-)
Lovely, Nancy!

[lkroll]

Thanks Amica. Most of the effect was done using layer properties applied to the target with the base layer being filled with Neutral gray (a combination of color, burn and a few other ingredients). Some additional simplification was done using PwS (my acronym for PostworkShop for now one).

[ghealy]

Liked the coloured pencil versions, so tried my hand at that using DAP with some post in PSPv9. Again thanks for the play, Amica.

[amica999]

Gene, I reallly like the DAP-preset. Your rendition works well!

I have another one of the famous Santana cabins - have fun :-)

great photo's Amica

found some time for a quick play

Palms

[amica999]

I like that one, Palms and I guess the owner of this house would appreciate the whitewash, too :-)

[skipatk]

Just a basic pencil look on this one.

[amica999]

Simple and brilliant, Skip :-)

[skipatk]

Thanks Amica - Here a go at the Santana House using two DAP AOPs (Colorful and Renoir) and using a blend mode of Darken between the layers in Photoshop.

Oh that is nice, Palms. I need to remember that sometime less is more.

Like both of these Skip. Am going to have to try that with DAP myself and see what comes out of it.

[Boneappetit]

My 1st shot at one of them.

[geepee52]

Used Fractalius on this one Amica. Thanks again for posting such great images for play.

Grant

[amica999]

Lovely renditions Grant and Bone! I really enjoy looking at all the different approaches.

[Boneappetit]

Thanx amica, these pics are very nice.

[ghealy]

Another attempt at watercolour with the Santana house. Thanks for sharing the image, Amica

[ghealy]

Okay, okay. I really need to be doing other stuff. Sheeeeeesh!. <grin>

The first I copied Skip's process of two DAP AOPs blened. I added a bit of contrast and texture in PSPv9.

The second done in FotoSketcher. First ran it using Painting 3 to simply image and then used that with Painting 7 (Brushstrokes) to complete the image. Some post in PSPv9 to add texture, contrast and tweak saturation as well.

Thanks for looking.

[amica999]

I like all three, Gene, can't really tell which I prefer :-)
