Ella... your outcomes are beautifull !

Nice to find you joining this new game, Ella.
Very nice outcomes, I like particularly:
- Apples, Fishermmen, Venice, Houses.

In the time I was posting, Lula added some other beautiful outcomes. Those of Montreal are manipulations of your pictures taken when you were there? Beauty added to beauty....

Yes Dinasset, these are my photos and I visited the fabulous Montreal Botanical Garden almost daily. Fauna and flora were generously present there.

My little contribution: Saint Paul Cathedral (Rome).

Medjugorje.

Temptation in the wilderness.

Thank you so much for your introduction.
Here the new tutorial. The result will be a nice result with fantasy.
Thanks you all who contribute with such nice results.

Some of the results

Here the filter I created to "translate" the tutorial.
One note:
- the process is quite "strong", hence it could create too strong outcomes
- to moderate the final results, I tried to apply two different techniques:
- 1) do an automatic adjustment in colours and luma creating on top an adjustment layer with opacity set to 1/3
- 2) including two additional separate parameters to let the user modify saturation and chroma, both increasing or decreasing them, to meet own taste

The filter:

I will post my test examples using different kinds of source images, but using only default parameters.
