| Would have posted before but I'm supposed to be working 1. Duplicate background layer (ofcourse) - 3 times Layers should then be: Layer 3 Layer 2 Layer 1 Background 2. Set Layer 3 blending mode to colour 3. Desaturate layer 1 4. Desaturate and invert layer 2 5. Set Layer 2 blending mode to colour dodge 6. On layer 2 filter -> blur -> gaussian blur - adjust to tastes - on this one I used a radius of 100. 7. If required add your favorite blur to layer 1 |

| For a wetter look: 8. Apply a small gaussian blur to layer 1 9. Filter -> Stylise -> Find Edges 10. Edit -> Fade -> 30% Colour burn |

| Not sure what I would call this.... used posterization, gaussian blur, diffuse, texturizer (rust flakes) and then painted with the brush tool. From the shaky lines I think maybe I should go easy on the coffee. LOL. It looks better higher quality but had to reduce to put on here. |

| Nancy, beautiful second effort as well. Thanks for the details. Hey, all work and no play.........well, you know Alan, that's gorgeous. Are these some of the custom styles that you shared? Twin, really neat effects. I used that rust flake texture recently and wondered why I'd waited so long. |

| Catherine, no. These are new styles that I am still working on trying to get a decent looking watercolor. Below is a zip file with a set of four different versions and I would be interested in comments on anyone's experience with these styles. Alan |

| Did a lot of playing around with a little of everything on this one. Still not sure what I did is anything postable. Sometimes one's inspiration falters. Don't say you weren't warned. Steve |
