Re: Beautiful China
Wow, Silvia, I got lost in your site Great stuff there.

Recently downloaded trial version of Topax B&W, and, boy, really having fun with it. I MAY actually spring for the few bucks. I'm into it so much there's no going back.

Anyhow these are from it. 1st is a setting called Opalotype w/ tweeks toward a hand-tint. 2nd is Infrared w/ other adjustments.

Re: Beautiful China
Not sure if this looks more like a watercolor or an illustration. From Topaz Simplify to Adjust.

I like the overall look of this one, the way it looks like it was painted with a slighty fuzzy brush. Is PostworkShop a plugin? I use PhotoPlus X5 but many photoshop plugins are compatible with it.
