Spatter Filter + Textures Overlay

Legacy~Art · #5 02-01-2005, 03:56 PM

First i upped the colors and then added paper texture so it looked like oils on canvas saved that, and then opened photoshop opened the original then clicked for the oil copy to layer the original and then changed the opacity and then added it as overlay until i got it how i liked.

stephen king anyone?

when i first read the topic title i thought it's going to be something naughty

some more of AHB mess of mine... as for those embossed layers, i put them on white before applying emboss...

Started out thinking - AHA! Pointillize!

But then I got into "What if..." mode and ended up with six pointillize layers at different radii. Overlayed them together and topped with some outlines.

Agh...a garden...at last! Thanks Legacy. Terrific posts

I lightened and brightened, rotated. Small amount of Texture Preserving Smooth. Impressionist/One of Cheryl's settings Broad Wash which I liked on this image immediately.

Anyone like cross stitching? I have a site address for the thread codes if anyone is brave enough to attempt this...

Second to computing, I love X-Stitching. Thanks for the offer but I already have an X-Stitch Software Program for converting images.

Legacy~Art · #12 02-02-2005, 05:23 AM

Does X-Stitch Software give details on the colors used?

I would love to get into adding X-cross patterns to the pictures i sell online.

Hi Legacy....good idea! I have a cheap version of this program which is adequate for my needs.

I had the same idea years ago i.e. to use my own designs but it seemed like hard work to moi, if only I were 20 years younger, got the ideas but not the energy anymore

Here are more X-Stitch programs....

I also have a links page at my site with a list of free X-Stitch patterns available on the net, you may enjoy a look at those sites too.....

What a wonderful array of links...Thank you Neve...I got all the ideas i wish i had the funds to go ahead and do them all.

First I want to apologize, I'm exhausted this morning, so I can't give the same amount of detail as usual.

First ran Unsharp Mask.
Used Danny's Chalk: Soft Detail Pastel Rain, faded to 25%
then JCH's Van Gogh.
Then Danny's Paint: Dry Brush Scrappy., faded a bit.
Custom filter.
Add texture using a layer mask.
