Buzzpro, simplifier1, manipulated a bit with colors, texture added. Photoshop watercolor filter (my favorite!)

Danny, you've done it again with your "impressionistic" talent!! I LOVE your creation!! And I thank you for your new set of impr styles. Can't wait to try them out.

Neve · #6 03-02-2005, 05:03 PM

I want to put them both in my invisible Hall of Fame

Beautiful pictures, Jaykita & Danny!

Something very simple here, just Buzz Pro underneath a line drawing set to overlay, some color enhancement and a mask/frame.

Nothing wrong with an uncomplicated approach, Catherine. Ya done good and I especially like the framing.

Neve · #9 03-03-2005, 04:01 AM

Wonderful effort there Catherine! I like your framing too.

Applied Cutout first in Photoshop.

In PaintshopPro 8.1 place cutout layer over the original. I ventured into the Show All Mask on L2 using a Fuzzy Brush on the leaves, and a Van Gogh brush on the background. Smudged the apples and tree limb. Merged layers.

Impressionist/Fluffbutts/Stevies Gouache - duped this layer
Multiply on L2 at 60%.

Added a canvas texture.

My case is 3/4 packed now and squeezing in some play time

Thanks, Raniday, Neve! Both fabulous creations!

Thanks, Danny, Neve & Jaykita.
Gorgeous work, Neve. I love how you've softened your background and made the apples prominent.
I'm always a day late and a dollar short, but where are you going?

Here is mine:

Simple Level and Curves adjustments.
Ran an ice filter over a layer and Differenced it over an original.
Slight bit of rain/snow effect.

Just trying something different.
