Hello this is a general Ps question and one that is not related to the book (as far as I'm aware) Can someone please point me in the right direction, i am trying to get this technique wired. Images courtesy of Joaquim Granell http://www.flickr.com/photos/quimgranell/2369609408/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/quimgranell/2213303028/ I have tried some glow filters in CS3, but I think that's only part of the way. can you help? Many thanks. Scott |

Re: This effect
Hi Scott I have seen this technique before on photo websites and seem to recall there is a plug-in to achieve this effect. However, I cannot for the life of recall what it's called. Hopefully someone can jump in and answer your question, otherwise perhaps a mail to the author will reveal all. Nick |

Re: This effect
Hi Scott I think you will find this technique is called SMUDGING. I have had a few attempts at it but failed dismally 
Hope you have more luck than me. There are several tutorials on the net, this is just one of them..... http://www.adidap.com/2006/11/07/photoshop-tutorial-from-image-to-painting/ Anna _________________ Wicked Witch of the West: I'm melting! I'm melting! |

Look into the Fractalius plugin from Redfield. http://www.redfieldplugins.com/filterFractalius.htm _________________ Lonnie |

Hello Scott, Photoshop Creative Issue 60 has something along these lines. Send me your email and I will email you the instructions. Faith |

That's the one Lonnie - well done. There was a point when many people were using it. Nick |

Re: This effect
Thank you everyone. Well as mentioned above, I was in Tesco's today and noticed the latest edition of Photoshop Creative with an image of a cat on the front displaying exactly what I wanted to do. The tutorial is quite lengthy but I'm still going to give it a go. That Fractallus plug-in looks great too, would make the workflow much easier I think. But as I'm mostly a (wannabe) landscape photographer. I'm not sure I would use the technique enough to warrant spending money (which is going towards my Nikon D700) on it. Great advice, thank you.

Re: This effect
I'm a bit confused about Fractalius. On the Redfield site (on the Downloads page) you can download the Fractalius.exe but it doesn't say whether it is a trial version or a basic version. Likewise, you can order the plugin at a cost of £25. 
Can anyone shed any light? ta. Scott |
