lets see what you can come up with ( put all three together if you want )

Palms

[lkroll]

Just a play with PostworkShop since they just recently released the beta. All could be done with version 1.1, but it's now much more spiffier. Did do some blending and things in GIMP too.

[lkroll]

A little bug with PsW (sort of crashed) but redid my steps and liked the final result better anyway. Again, version 2 is still in beta, but I will say that even 1.1 crashed on my system (maybe have too many apps open; lol) too.

[palms]

nice ones Lyle, London bridge is great

Thanks for the play Palms!

[Veralisa]

I really enjoyed the time with these beautiful shots. Thanks Palms.

1st, the Bridge, FotoSketcher cartoon, layered & blended over a line drawing, over the original.

2nd, first, AHB,line drawing, then a gradient overlay (whites & grays). Finished w/ Akvis clouds over that... "A Foggy dayyy, in London town..."

3rd, Selective color, convert to sepia, mask for reds and golds, and AHB.

Palms was right I used Fractalius and Lucis on both pics.

[rembrant]

A little an English water color...

[Veralisa]

rembrandt... I like your water color very much. What brush do you use around the outside edges, the one on the bottom most layer? It's really quite smooth, the one I use (Piker's Watercolor, sz 70) is rather jaggedy.
Thanks!

[lkroll]

Thought I would age this one. Click here for complete rendition; attached is a lower quality crop.

[fotopolka]

hello
How do you like this version?

[palms]

Rembrant nice watercolour

Lyle that is a great ageing process keeps a good quality

fotopolka i like your version

Palms

[skipatk]

My tries - A soft pastel with some texture on Tower Bridge and a watercolor of the palace guard. Not sure if I like the watercolor?

[skipatk]

Here's another go at the palace guard with an oil effect. The size reduction for posting doesn't show the brush strokes very well so I included an inset.

[Peter S]

Saw this and went "What the Frac!"

[pat---]

Great work, everyone! Here's my version of the guard. I've also gone the sepia route but maybe a little differently. Background - blur, sepia, surface blur. The guard - Filter Forge Advanced Posterizer, used that layer to multiply the original. Both - sepia, lens vignette. Done in Serif's PhotoPlus X4.

[FranS]

I missed these the first time around so I thought I'd bring them back.

Here"s #1.

[FranS]

Here's #2 This was done with Topaz and the Impressionist filter.

[FranS]

#3 was done with Topaz and the Pattern Stamp Tool.

[0lBaldy]

Thanks for revitalizing this thread again Fran... I like ALL of yours

I decided to tackle the Bridge again..

A bit of London Fog then some Snap Art, embossing, sharpening, coloring, and texture all blended together

[alexmeta]
