Creative Interpretations: Train for Danny

I liked the outcome and in spite of no detail wanted to "balance out" the Magical Mystery Tour upload.

Thank you for this... INSPIRATIONS!

here ya go.

on a duplicate layer:
extracted the train.
Sharpen edges.
find edges.

on another duplicate background:
deleted sky.
applied glass filter.
applied cutout filter.
filled sky.
adjusted hue and saturation.

I didn't do much to this one, but I guess it looks ok as is. Simplicy & restraint are not strong points of mine. Here's a chance to practice them.

BG: Resize, tonal & color correction. Sharpen
A: Copy BG. Select shadows. Impressionist:Geometric-ChaoticChrome. 59%
B: Copy A: Impressionist:Crayons-ShortChoppyStrokes. 62%
Resize back down so JPG quality doesn't drop to nothing.

This one's so good, i could hang it up on my wall. Very painterly. Bravo!

I don't know how "arty" this is, but it's a fun, fast and easy trick I like to use from time to time.

Duplicate the background
Apply emboss filter
Desaturate this layer and cut down the opacity (35%)

Used three different actions (Mike Finn's InstaSketch Pro, Ted LaCasio's Art Oils and Lawrence DeBono's Pen Wash) to provide three layers for a new file. I used the InstaSketch layer as the backgound and set the other two layers to Multiply mode. Finally, I merged the three layers and adjusted the Levels and Saturation.

Same picture desaturated, then used Hue/Sat>Colorize to give it a tint.

Fantastic, Keemem!!! Your rendering gives so much dimension to the graphic!! I'm impressed!

First OOB that I've seen that spans two frames. An absolutely brilliant idea!

Hey, Mal: I especially like #1. Nice combination of actions to get the final result.

Hephaestos: There are many degrees of artiness. "A little arty" is one of them and works just fine on this one.

cardmnal: Reading your filters recipe and how you combined the layers reaffirmed why I like seeing "HOW" people get their results. Never in a zillion years would I have thought of that. Well done.

Mark: Ditto what Judy said. Supurb results.

Here's one coming out of the past.

duplicated image
old photo action
finding edges (I think)
added some masking
........not sure what else. I lost track on what I did.

I just love filters that deform the original as a whole-not just bits and pieces of it. This is buzzed to 50 and VPgothic with a lot of playing around with contrast/brightness.

I had to try it too. I used two layers one impressionist, and one smart blur. I used an edge from photofiltre.

Ok a bit of a train fad at the moment but this is a great photo , it probably rates another try later as well ! !

You're right palms about it being a nice photo. I used PS and Painter X on it.
