Ken, great challenge idea, and wonderful photo to use for it. Can't wait to see how folks approach this one!

by **Greymist** » Wed Nov 14, 2007 8:27 pm

Phyllis, This is the first to what I hope are going to be many others from The Inn folks.
I moved a couple of layers, cloned out the aerials and other bits, finished with Super Smooth, Texture and Saturation.

Regards,

Cottages

Lyle, boy that's a huge file... took forever to open, unless it's just the connection today. Anyway it's bold and beautiful.

Dan, great job with my favorite filter that I don't have (yet)... love the effect on the water.

I agree that the Impressionsit is a good filter but after many attempts with it, I dont know what are the best brushes for the presets!!!! Hope you'll have soon for some good infos from you.

Paula, that is absolutely wonderful, the real WOW factor!

Jan, your pen and ink is equally nice with that Olde World touch about it.

Best wishes,

I agree with Dorcas, antennas must go...
