I think it's plastic beauty.

Thanks Issabella !
I like particularly the "caballos" with borders.

Nice results Issabella. I like the horses too but without the borders, it's beautiful. :jumpclap

Thank you so much to you both. :tyspin

Yes, each one has his/her own opinion. I love both results. I see that large images give quite better results.
Still testing the possibilities.

I post here an enhanced version of my last filter: added a possibility to choose the size of the tiles between regular and large (regular is how in previous version).

A play:
1-run using "large tiles" on only 7 areas
2-copied original on top opacity 33%

This one without post-processing (it depends on the source image).

Really interesting results. I like them a lot. :coolthup

Thanks Issabella.
Yes, the possibility to create larger tiles brings additional interesting effects.

Fran6 · **Posted:** Fri Sep 08, 2017 12:48 pm **(#457)**

I tried the new version and it works fine. Your results on portraits are nice Issabella and Diego. Here is a try with regular tile and layer original on top with value mode, 50 %.
I took the photo before the madonne was restored by the artist.

Today I prepared another small ancillary filter for enhancing the colours where required ("dumb" images?):
PlusColourContrast
What does it?
It finds the predominant "colour" value of each pixel in the source image, and increases it by the requested percentage while reducing the other two colours. To limit (not avoid) the distinction of the pixel values by a difference of just +1 or -1, it reduces preliminarly the values to the corresponding 1/16 of the original value.
Then classifies the pixel into one of 6 classes: Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Cyan, Magenta depending on the max values found in R, G, B and replaces the source values with the modified (increased/decreased) values, in a duplicated layer.
Finally applies a large blur to limit local pixellation.
Here it is:

Two examples.
Default values apply a "moderate" change, user can vary the parameters.
