| | I suppose that like everything else in Photoshop there are several ways of doing the same thing. To each his/her own. Whatever floats your boat and all those other trite sayings.
Runaway horse, huh? Hmmm, I've never had that happen. Whoa except in real life. And it ain't no piknik neither.

- is there a link to the brushes you mentioned?
- Are these 'special brushes' for art history or just the normal ones?
- Do I just shove new brushes into a folder some place?

all brushes work w/ AHB, but some crapply
as for the instalation, just copy those .abr files to "[photoshop directory]\Presets\Brushes\", and load them - click that small triangle (see the attachment), choose from that list that pops out, and then choose "append" (this will add those brushes to the end of brushes list) |

Rô | I used the Nagel Series 12-14 brush, 85 downsized to 7, for my art history brush. You have to resize them, they're huge. Here is the link.
Re download and installation, you'll find an explanation at this website.
Most all brushes can be used for art history, i think. |

| | | Nice subject photo to work with, and am enjoying the renditions and the art history brush discussions!
This was an accident that I liked -- I had read a tutorial about enhancing images with weak skies with use of the Distort->Diffuse Glow filter on a copy layer (then set blend mode to Difference, move to layer copy below - add layer mask, Apply Image, set blend mode to Linear Burn and trash the top layer that you ran the Diffuse Glow on), and I ran that to see what would happen on an image without skies, AND I was playing with the Torn Edges on a paper layer, and then I end up looking at an aged looking version of an old car -- decided to run Selective Color to reduce some black, cyan, etc., added an overlay layer to paint with black to bring back a bit of detail, and then Postered Edges to bring back some of the shape. |

| | WOW really, really nice Kiska. Now finish it and add some splotchy shadows to the top of the car like the shadows on the ground. Then your "it doesn't look right to me" will be PERFECT!!!
I'm so impressed.

| | | AHA! Sooie. I took a walk and thought the same thing. No shadows on the top of the car. Thanks |

| | I'm still not good with shadows -- I was thinking that the top of the car might have sun shining on it thru an opening, but was wondering if the shadows near the front tire were too strong? As I said, I'm not too good with shadows... |
