i think that there is no photoshop plugin to get it, but otherwise no photoshop filter i tested generates a look like this. and i tested a lot (also in combinations).

please have a look at the details, they seem to stick together in a fibrous way and there are (typical) duplicated contours at contrasting edges. what kind of filter or filterkombination makes such results?

thanks for any suggestion ... andreas

Where did you find these images. That may give us a clue........
