| Classic photo, cardmnal. I thought it begged for a conversion to BW. Mine is based on my own version of the Yosemite Skies action available here: http://www.creativestoke.org.uk/action.html |

| Sunny Just simply tried to make the day look a little better than in the previous pic. Adjusted levels and added a few stock photo filters. Not much really. T |

| You all do great work. I love those grayscale versions. makes me feel as though a cowboy will come riding up to the barn.The most interesting thing about this photo is when I took it I was actually surrounded by a herd of bison. |

The underlying colors look very "wet-on-wet." How did you achieve that look? ~Danny~ |

| Very nice, everyone. Raniday, exceptional! Mine is with layer mask -outer glow, color overlay. Also sketch layer-edges only, median layer with increased saturation. Diffuse - lighten only. Last edited by jaykita; 03-07-2005 at 02:57 AM. Reason: Added text |

| Thanks Jaykita. Hi, Danny. As for whether it would look more "watercolored" toned down is basically a matter of taste. I painted in real watercolors long before I got my first digital art software, and I tend to paint in vibrant, splashy colors. I did a lot of layers, softening and changing blending modes, but as usual, at the end I pumped up the colors in hue/sat because most of the digital watercolors I see try to retain the native colors of the original photo, and to me, watercolor isn't about making a faithful reproduction but is about.........well, color. You're right, there's some smart blur in there, also some crystalize. catherine |

It was the Smart Blur/Edges Only layer that I thought took away from the final product. To me the types of lines it renders can look out of place and not very naturally-drawn-looking on some images. Quote:

| Ok, I see what you're saying now, Danny. When I saw "toned down", I thought less color, but I agree about the smart blur lines. Actually, I did that layer another way first, running gaussian blur and then usm, but I didn't get a heavy enough line to make me happy, so I did it again and left it too ragged. What I will do next time is to draw the lines by hand w/ the pencil tool, not really that much more work, and I can get the kind of lines I want, so that it looks like a pen & ink drawing w/ a watercolor wash.Jaykita, I like your watercolor a lot. |

| Nice old barn. PSP7 Layer in B&W over original, erased some parts of the house and beams, added soft light from below, darkened total in gamma correction, and darkened and lightened here and there bits and pieces. Titia |

| PSP8: buzz, edges>trace contour; One of the oil brushes on the original, forget which one, merged, softened the lines. Amy |
