just some odd images here and there

Ah, Craig's setting me up for the tease, eh??? Very clever..... LOL....

boy, i'm getting too predictable

here's a little something i started playing with tonight.

thanks, carl

here's a few more from the same play:

#2

and a fourth:

First and third stand out to me

Oooooooooo!!! Me like!!!

Yeah, all four of them look good to me!!!

I think the samples go to show that "glass" effects do much better without alot of extra detail to refact and detract by filling all areas with an unecessary mess..... .....

it took me months to make this filter. i'd put it down and work on it 'later', never quite finding the exact look i wanted. i cant remember the artist this is modeled after, but i'm guessing sherry might know, or perhaps, someone else. at any rate, it's still not quite right yet, but close.

thanks, carl. yeah, that's what i thought, too. the problem is, i'm having trouble isolating why and i also dont like that patterned telltale texture so much. so, this is still a WIP.

yeah, not sure about that steve. i may actually leave it to simulate older, dirty canvases/paintings. there's a look to this that resembles that and i dont want to lose it. we'll see.

but, i've found a major flaw with the filter and am going to have to re-work it almost completely. it seems to work fairly well on large images, but terribly on smaller ones.

what in the hell is 'paint Grazing'?

ah!

well, frankly, i'm being an almost complete dillitante on filter making these days. so, i've put that one aside and am working on another one. lol. in other words, i'm 'dabbling' with lots of ideas and getting nothing actually finished. it's that old incentive thing again. why submit? no incentive. no reward. no payola! all my brilliance gone to waste i dont even get the occasional email asking for anything. ah, woe is me i'll probably have to shoot myself just to get my genius recognized (dead artists always make more than living ones ).

so, what do you do to fix it, steve? ... the pixel interference, i mean.

i dont know. i'm just trying to sound important to steve

Oh yeah of course I knew that those dam pixels - is that what the problem is when pic are over compressed

I see, I hate that happening, nothing you can do about it

same filter as the last image. different image. pam never looked so good i'm liking this upgrade

Capt'n Carl, you're missing a golden opportunity to scream at Craig for forgetting the originals..... LOL....

I'm such a troublemaker.....

***throws rock back at Craig for the heck of it***

I really like the "Pam" effect!!!

glass pam.

I like that one, give me an idea/ base for a new grunge filter [ I know I know I'm becoming grungely boring LOL ] all those recent samples look good have you photoshoped the metal ones to only cover a percentage of the image ?
