They are all very nice, Animicule! I especially like the vase, and of course, the cat.

One for fun, used the 3 sets again.

Very nice. Precise outlines of the objects. Love it!

Hello ,
some experiments with this filter . The original
image been provided with too much brightness .

regards Hardy111

ORIGINAL

animicule & hardy
really excellent outcomes !

Excellent, Hardy!

Dinasset and Pat: Thank you for your appreciation!
and Hardy your tests are excellent!

I think the reason (with the 3 folders of patterns) why the H(orizontal) wood was included when the
V(ertical) wood was not, the filter must load the 1st match to Luma & Color and the Hwood folder
is alphabetically first. When I deleted half of the Hwood patterns, then the Vwood patterns were used.
I will be planning a new naming convention.

This one was done before the deletions and is nearly all Hwood.

Some very amazing artwork folks!

Rod,
when will you start experimenting it yourself?....

A different view than usual.

Very impressive, Animicule!

I tried several times with different settings on this seemingly simple image and this is the best I could do.

That is a nice outcome the way it is. How many colors were you using?
To me, more colors = more 'resolution' in the outcome.
Here is my workflow (as remembered) for today's outcome.
Small subject, was under 1000 x 1000.
Prep 1, scaled (clicked the link in scale, then 6000 on the top)
Prep 2, IMAGE>Canvas to layer size.
Prep 3, COLOR>brightness/contrast -- set brightness up to 70 (didn't move contrast).
It looks faded out, but I was going to use RGB552 set so that is a good start.
With preparation completed,
Ran the filter with 3300 size (I believe) Color Boost, Graphics Boost, 256 colors,
RGB, Roundness = 1.0 and move background to top. Then layer play if needed,
currently looking the thumbnail at the top of the image window and trying to match
outcome thumbnail close to the brightness of the subject thumbnail <- after going to the
subject and >>>> undoing the Color>brightness change on the subject <<<<

In short, my current play method is to expand the original image to Gigantic size and
increase brightness past even looking good before running the filter to see the outcome.

That is very nice, Animicule. Can see a lot of detail.

Interesting suggestion to increase dramatically brightness when invoking Graphic/Chroma Boost

a try

...and a second one

Very Nice Dinassett! Did you also enlarge the subject to Gigantic?
I find that with a gigantic subject and 2300 - 3300 outcome
it takes very little extra time.

Here is another food item with the same process as above.
Hungry!

Dinasset & Animicule: Love your outcomes! I will try your technique. I left this image large but not gigantic. Forgot to make it brighter. Used chroma boost. 100 colors.

Do we all get a slice of that cake? Yum!

Had to do another one tonight! I find that I cannot make the picture "gigantic" or the filter returns a blank image. Since we are on to food now, I offer this. This one is with 150 colors, made brighter, used some curves, and a little unsharp mask.

ya, animicule's trick is really the "brightening" pre-process (IMO the enlargement is irrelevant)
