I'll bet you'll be able to do some fun things with this one.

Remember to share the filters, plugins and/or brushes you use, so others can learn from your creativity.

Have fun!

Retouch wedding, oh i did get excited, i thought someone in the group had got hitched!

All i did was smudge paint, then add texture, then saved it from the photoshop7 then took it into psp7 did the mask so it has jagged edges, then frame it in psp7.

That was a fun one.
A little shadow/highlight and dupe layer/gauss blur/overlay, then AHB a la Trimoon.

Glad to see you've tamed the wild horses, Janet.

I modified an Impressionist setting to create this tile mosaic. (See below.)
The full size rendering is located here (near 500K).

The custom styles can be found in post #28 of this thread:

This is a very nice image. I used Painter's Sargent brushes using cloned colores. PS for texture and some smudging and Trimoon lighting effects.

Beautiful bride paintings, everyone! This is a fun photo to play with. I tweaked her a little in PS, then went to Painter.

My canvas texture doesn't look very good at low res, so here's a link to a higher res version:

Appreciate you packaging/sharing your custom style.

(From your other thread) I know what you mean about "Man, I will never master Impressionist." But it is sure fun to keep learning more about it!

Need a favor: It needs to be repackaged...

Why? It's nearly impossible to find your preset(s) among all the ones that are already installed.

Recommendation on how to do it (see attached image):
* Specify a unique Category name = easier to find your presets
* Specify a leading character such as #. This causes custom categories to be listed at the top of the flyout menu = even easier for others to find.
* Use the same Category and File (.set) name = easy to keep track of what's where among your .set files.

If you'd make these changes and upload the new .zip (add it to this thread, if you would, please),

http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8328

then I'll be able to try out try out your handiwork. I'll add links from this and the Bara thread to the fixed .zip, too, OK?

TIA...
