This effect is quite outstanding. I like that effect. :coolthup

Result depends a lot on the gradient (randomly) chosen. The second one looks as the best to me.

Issabella · **Posted:** Tue Sep 12, 2017 7:59 am **(#503)**

Yes, you are right. The second one is better.
Please, look at 496 post for Frans.

Thanks, Issabella and Pat.
Nice outcomes.
I like particularly "girl-657752" and "Country House", very attractive.

Nice results, Pat. :bigthup

Playing a few more effects.

Thank you so much Dinasset.

I like those outcomes: on top the sexy dancer and the shining seascape

Thanks Dinasset.

Nice outcomes Issabella.
Now it's time for a new toy.
Well, not exactly a toy because it's in the area of painting techniques, of which -as you all know- I'm a fan.
It tries to simulate a painting using watercolor pencils.
It "quantizes" the original in as many colour areas as the user chooses (from 7 to 70), then applies on each a colour taken from a gradient made of 7 segments (that's the reason why I choose to have the number of areas in steps of 7).
Here my new filter:
WaterPastelPoster

The outcome is closer to a poster when the number of colour areas is small, while it's closer to a real painting when the number of colour areas is high.

Just an example, with a montage showing all the possible different outcomes.
(note: the original is placed twice, both at the beginning and at the end just to have a good number to make a montage)

I hope you enjoy the new filter (if you like painting simulated on a computer).

Another of your great filters! Thanks a lot. Here my first results.

Issabella · **Posted:** Thu Sep 14, 2017 3:47 am **(#517)**

I like it a lot.

Fran6 · **Posted:** Thu Sep 14, 2017 5:44 am **(#518)**

This new filter is amazing. I like the effect on the transparency and something like a coloured dream in the image. I used 42 areas for this try. I hope you will add some options for this filter. For example adding textures ? Thank you for your good work Diego.

Issabella: thanks, you used the colour density closer to "posterize" (14,21); often very nice effects, as in your outcomes.
Francis: thanks for the appreciation and your first try: which would you like to get on top? (you may also apply -as a postprocessing step- one of my "texturizing" ancillary filters already out)

dinasset · **Posted:** Thu Sep 14, 2017 6:23 am **(#520)**

3 outcomes at the max density to better simulate paintings.
