This was huge. We lost some detail bringing it down to Renderosity size, but I think there is enough here to be of interest. Upper left is an enhanced image of the City Hall in Altmonte, ON. Least I believe it's the city hall. An interesting building which begged to be photographed and interesting photograph which begged to be played with. Upper right is the same image with the sketch pad filter at work. In this case I chose colored pencil setting rather than straight black. All submenu settings were set rather high to get that dark outline effect. Bottom right is the original enhanced image with the watercolor filter at work. Usual, for me, settings worked out just fine. One can adjust brush size, water amount, bleedover, etc. Effects are fairly easy to control. Bottom left was tricky. I save it for last! This is two applications of the same filter, sort of, to achieve a unique effect (well, unique for me). First I took the original image and applied the conte crayon filter but turned the black crayon OFF. This resulted in a lovely golden image which needed something else. Added the elephant skin filter with dark-brown background to make the oil-painting-like crackles in the image. This was cool. Definitely cool. I felt like printing a copy to frame or use for computer wallpaper. However, something said: try adding in the black again, stupid. You see, originally this is what I did, but it was too black! too dark! So I removed the black. by this time I'd discovered another trick: copy the image to the background frame and apply the vignette filter - doing it this way shuts off the color choices so the image is given a transparent vignette! Sooo. I pasted the dark image over the golden one and applied the transparent vignette as an oval. You see the result: enough of the original shows through to look cool, but the central part retains enough dark to look bold and eye-catching. Bwua-ha-ha! ;-) The frame (don't read further, Vik) is a plain rectangle filled with woodgrain. This is given a dose of heavy stone texture and then illuminated with several off-scene spotlights. Then given a black rectangular vignette. Doctored images then pasted on top. Enjoy; thanks for viewing.
