Creative interpretations: Boat, Bridge and Waterfrontridge
This interpretation is based on the BW version (previous post). that was flattened (layer B below).
Here's the layer stack (top to bottom). The image was built from A - E.
E. Copy of original BG image. Layer > Add Layer Mask > Hide All. Set foreground color to white and paint where you want to restore any detail.
D. Duplicate original BG
* Smart Blur, Edge Only.
* Image > Adjustments > Invert.
* Filter > Diffuse > Ansiotripic.
* Filter > Sharpen > Unsharp Mask. This gives some nice line detail. The Diffuse and USM give the lines a little more definition.
* Change blend mode to = Darken. This will show the black lines and suppress the white in this layer.
* Set opacity=75%. Added Layer Mask and painted black to hide some unwanted line detail.
C. Hue/Sat adjustment layer (Sat = + 40)
B. Copy Mike Finn insta-sketch layer from other image. Set blend mode to Overlay, and opacity to ~ 65%.
A. Duplicate original BG. Layer rendered by Microsoft Impressionist ** plugin. Charcoal: Default setting. Renders a nice patchy color effect.

** Microsoft Impressionist Plug-in
Recently I've acquired a couple extra copies of MSFT Front Page 98 (legit CDs) that contains Impressionist, the hard to find and very versitile Windows-only photo-art plug-in.
Contact me via PM if you might be interested in taking a copy off my hands for a good cause.
C--great effect for this image. It gives it a futuristic/sci fi look.
Christine--I like the muted colors--it gives it an old-time look. The texture adds to the look, but is just a little too strong for my taste.
This comes out of my grab bag collection. The color layer is a custom impressionist preset followed by fantastic machine's paint engine (a current favorite combo for me). The sketch layer is a buzz sketch followed by distort--glass.
San Diego is a lovely California city on the Pacific Ocean, just north of the U.S./Mexico border. This photo by T.Hinov is of one of the local fresh produce markets.
