Northernshadow Posts: 208 Filters: 19	Thanks ronviers, jffe The old combine turned out great, came out perfectly I found during testing that some images had too much detail come though to look like a true watercolor, I still wanted that really soft, wet effect in the background, so redid the filter to allow for a method to do this. Here's a Simple Watercolor Tutorial 1. Open the image in Photoshop (or your image editor of choice) 2. Duplicate background twice (name your layers 1 and 2, with 2 being the layer on top) 3. Run preset 1 of "Another Watercolor Painting" on Layer 1 4. Run preset 2 on Layer 2 5. Add a layer mask to Layer 2 and paint on it with black where you want the detail to show though. For this picture I used Soft Round 27 at about 50% Opacity. An alternate method is to just erase with a soft brush where you want to see the details but I prefer the mask method because it's so easy to reverse by switching the paint to white. 6. You're done! drop your layers and save. Here's one I did with this method... Sherry
