[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 521271, member: 9240"] Thanks, but this is one where it's all about the technique and what the software can do not a whole lot else, the photography in particular. So, while I'm happy this came out the way it did and that it's eye pleasing, I find the results almost always cool enough that someone would go "Wow" without knowing how it's done, and unless you do some additional manipulation it leaves you feeling like you're making cookie cutter art. For example, I went to Bing image search and grabbed the first thing I saw, ran it through the default tutorial steps (took 2 seconds with my premade action since it was a small jpeg), chose a blend mode I liked best (Pin Light in this case), and then applied a double dose of Clarity using Camera Raw Filter. Voila, before and after in about a minute... [ATTACH type="full"]193089._xfImport[/ATTACH] Honestly, it almost made me feel dirty how easy it is to do stuff. If there's creativity involved it comes with what you do from here, but hey, I now have something to do when I'm bored out of my skull, right? LOL [/QUOTE]
