Description
(Check examples in comments) Turn your images into messy paintings/watercolors (realistic and abstract ). Includes dedicated controls for edges/contours, a simple BORDER and basic "Diff Tint" controls for some creative colorization. It uses parts of "StevieJ's GeometricGlass" and "Constantin Malkov's Sack Material" filters. TIPS: - To achieve a less messed painting, use both "MESS Level (4)" and "MESS Amount" lowest values. - Use low "SHARPainting" and low-mid "EDGE Smooth Radius" values for a soft watercolor effect. - To eliminate edges/contours, just reduce "EDGE Threshold" to "0" (zero) - Reduce "PRE-Saturation", boosting moderately "Wash & Lighten" and "POST Saturation" for bright, vibrant colors. - Texture and edges will NOT be affected by "SHARPainting". - Generate texture only: choose WHITE (255,255,255) as "Diff Tint" color, and set both "Diff Tint %" and "TEXTURE Amount" to its max values.
