Issabella -
I loved the first image in 636 and in 637 - they jumped out at me

Maybe i like them because they are clearer than some artwork where
many details are lost from an original photo.
- but as always it depends on what result you are working towards

Some of the other results from you (Issabella), Dinasset, Lula and Ella are
wonderful and could be printed and hung on a wall.

Gouache filter - for me this is the most interesting result.
Especially Issabell's results are truly amazing.
I can't wait for the filter to be published, so I just want to ask if you are still working on it?

Just sent to you for your plays, tests and comments.

Too strong competition for me.
My only little change:
samj_posterize layer in multiply mode I change to hard-mix.
But well - it all depends on the starting image and your own feelings.

Thanks Marek for joining in this thread.

MareroQ -
Excelent results in your post [644]
- thank you for sharing the changes that you used
- perhaps i should rethink experimenting further with this filter when it's done
Most of my photos that i take are outdoors / nature pictures

Here is one i tried - experimented a little ..lightened one and used 50% dodge on the other.
I have to try images - i tried a cat picture but she was cross and it made her look more angry.

Very nice outcomes, LeftyLeo.

A triplet of animals.
Before using the filter I pre-equalized the source image.

A triplet of cityscapes. Sources pre-equalized.

Finally a triplet of flowers. Sources pre-equalized.

Mandala of "James" .. then extruded, then used Dinasset and Issabella 's
Comics with Color_Edges_Engrave using 7 colours (lines regular)

Applying these plug-ins to other experiments

Issabella asked me to start a new experiment.
Before doing so, I like to invite those to have tested my (currently) last experiment Guache
(Issabella, MareroQ, LeftyLeo) to tell me whether it's worth or not to release it as a filter, thanks.

Thank you so much Dinasset.
I think it's worth releasing it as a filter. It's innovative and it provides most of the times good results.
Thanks for sharing your filters.

Thanks Issabella.
Waiting for MareroQ and LeftyLeo.

Why would I change my opinion ((#642))?

I will say selfishly: We already have it.
Thank you again for sending by PM.

I learned to be able to use it on some images,.. i like it , for me it depends on my photos

OK, thanks you both, I'll publish it, so other "invisible" visitors may try it.

Here it i:

New experiments, Fake Pointillisme using samj's Couleurs Metalliques.
