Appreciate the comments. Working on a slight modification of Rodilius Lorri that I call Organic Flow. Basically you run Rodilius then dup that result and run ACE (Adaptive Contrast Enhancement) and then set that layer to Difference and adjust opacity to taste, flatten and do an Auto Level. I actually Gradient Mapped this one and did some other things to make it look like veins (main additional manipulation is color followed by G'MIC's Relief Light).

Hey Lyle, what are you referring to when you say fire? If I had to guess, let me see....um, a filter maybe? Where can I get it?

Used Black and White Hardsketch (my G'MICtillus procedure) followed by PC's Smoothing preset, Ran German Flag Smooth Gradient mapp, dupped, and G'MIC Wind set to vertical angle. Then I ran ripple filter and blended down to taste. That's how I make fire. Matchsticks or lighter would have been easier. lol

I couldn't find ACE in GMIC. Where do I find that one?

ACE is a separate plugin Drac. I believe Francois did the lastest compile for this plugin for 32-bit GIMP (samj did one for 64-bit GIMP and it works in the beta GIMP as well).

Someone at DPReview wanted me to do a blending so I obliged; thought I would share that result here too. lol

You're my hero. Thanks Lyle. :coolthup

BTW...that blending is hilarious. Looks like someone needs their blood pressure checked really bad. :rofl
