| | | Creative Interpretations: White Rose Here's one for you, a rather bland picture of a single white rose.
One may be bland, but you should see the whole 12 ft high bush!!!!!! |

| | | Interesting looking rose. Thanks for letting us play.
Here is an impressionist version done in PSP8. I did a tighter crop first.

| | Another nice one to play with... thanks, Fluff.
Catia: I like #2 a lot. The PSP8 WC script is very effective on this one. Sure beats the tar out of Photoshop's sorry excuse for watercolor.  |

| | | Danny,
PSP8 certainly has some interesting capabilities. I like the Effect Browser. For example, you can view thumbnails of the Brush Stroke presets (all 38) at one time. A little like PE, only you get to see the results side by side rather than try to remember how the previous selection looked. The impressionist version above is the result of the impressionist preset in PSP8.
From what I am reading about PS8, a similar browser may be in that version of Photoshop.

| | | I really like the texture on your impressionist rose, Catia. I like your watercolor version for its clarity, Danny.
Here's my filtered little smudge... |

Annadarling your frame is neat and the way you did the petals in blue was nice touche. Fluffbutt thank you for a nice image. Just more Photartmaster with Photoshop texture sandstone and Extensis watercolor frame

| | | Bob - I like the effect you achieved with the leaves, shadows, and background - lots of interesting variation there - and the clarity you achieved with your rose. The creative matting you used really makes your artwork stand out! |
