Thank you so much Bonnie and Tiia. This was always a favorite photo of mine taken in Morro Bay, California and I decided to play around with it a little. I love the Lucas Arts filter look but can't afford it, so tried to come up with something of my own. This is layered with about 30% chalkaholic filtering and about 20% simplify filtering with a little boost to saturation coupled with a final multiplication blend. I think the original is somewhere in my gallery as well. Dale

I was going to ask how you did this, Dale, but the ladies beat me to it. Do you use Photoshop? In any case, I absolutely love this etched, almost woodcut look!

Thanks you Nancy. Yes, this was done using PSE5. I also have PS7 but PSE does everything I need and easier learning curve. Now if I can just do it again! Dale

Thanks for letting me know about PS Elements 5....I have a confession; I don't even have PS yet but I'm shopping around. "Easier learning curve" are 3 little words I need to hear!

Dale, this is an absolutely creative shot. It looks like it was taken during the early days of the trade explorers. We do share a lot of things in common, not only the places we've been to. I use PSE 5 too and it is definitely easier to learn than the full blown PS. I have since been adding plug-ins and filters. Great gallery you have and I'll explore some more when I get the chance.

Thank you Reynaldo. I have done the same thing. So far am just using the freeware filters I've found. Two that I like are "Little ink Pot" and the series from "Xero" I really like the effect of the Lucas Arts filter but the cost is way over my budget. Buzz is nice too but the Xero series has a free one called "simplifier" that can do nearly the same thing with a little finesse. What are you using so far? Dale

Thank you Donna. I'm having a great time learning how to take some of my images to another time and place. Never realized before that it was possible to recreate a photo with what's in my thick head.
