All i did here is add a layer reduced it to 50 on the opacity and then added a white layer reduce that to 30 merged, added text, added another layer to the background removed the merged one and reduced the new duplicated background to 50 and there you go...

Sorry but i ran out of ideas on paintings...I won't when i get the wacom i plan to own very soon.

Well, here's my take.
-I duped the BG.
-I loaded the Blue channel as a selection and used that to create a new alpha channel.
-Used Levels to increase the contrast, and Gaussian Blurred it slightly.
-Loaded that alpha channel as a selection and ran PS:Render:Clouds with the foreground color a light grey.
-inverted the selection and did the same, but faded it to lower opacity.
-Deselected and did the same, but faded to an even lower opacity.
-Did my Red, green, blue channel with Imp:Chalk Sketch:Half-Finished with the foreground color as background.
-Faded each to Darken.
-Then Did the inverse of the Red, green and blue channels with the same filter, but Faded the red and green to Overlay, and blue to darken.
Deselected and ran Imp:Sumi-e

ry Strokes on Pitted Stone.
Faded to lower Opacity.

Oops, I forgot. Before I finished, I loaded the Red channel again and ran Imp: Ink: Detailed Color Stipple.
Faded to Pin Light and lower opacity.

Very, very impressive. The texturing effect is outstanding.

Glikster, that is very dreamy and romantic. Just great for a light hazy spring morning. Ilove it.

How about a view through a frosted window?

CJ Swartz · #23 02-28-2007, 08:56 PM

Palms -- beautiful notecard! Would really work well, I think.

Gerry -- such a lovely sight to see thru that window!!

Thanks for the compliment, Palms. When I first saw the image, it seemed to scream frosted glass to me. I duped the background, intensified the contrast with curves and used the distort/frosted glass filter. I then set the layer blend mode to soft light. To increase the effect, I duped this layer several times. For the window, I found a picture of a frosted bathroom window with a roll of toilet paper on the sill. I cut out the frosted glass and TP, and cloned the missing parts back on to the picture. I placed the butterfly in back of this and voila!

funny Gerry that you saw it as screaming for frosted glass, because when i first saw it i thought of the aged photo technique that you done on the village car ! ! !

it's a little more subtle than i normally do, but i like it too.

and interesting, gerry, my first attempts were sort of a frosted glass also.

I'm glad you liked the aged photo technique. I got the idea from one of Corey Barker's videos on the NAPP web site some weeks ago.
