ooh, very nicely done! that first preset is wonderful. my only suggestion would be to add a slight blur to remove some of the sharper details before applying the effect, it's be more realistic.

Thanks, folks! This was an accident that happened while I was working on "Painterly Effects." smile:D

Well, if you move the "soften image" slider to the right, the edges are a bit blurred. Is this what you meant? If so, do you think I ought to have allowed a greater range of softness? If not, well...what did you mean? smile:blush:

Here's an image with the edges softer:

This version has more detail, but I think it looks good in black and white, too. smile;)

sorry 'bout the confusion i was a bit too hasty to post, i looked over the controls and couldn't find a blur component, but as you point out, there is one. it's just right smile:)

hi kat,

always looking for painterly effects and this one is pretty cool. i've got one bug-a-boo with it, however. your stroke changes are pretty angular. i looked inside the filter and added one component to try to reduce this just a bit. right after the blend you use to get the 'crosshatch amount', i added a noise distortion and turned the distornion way down to 10. this puts some curvature to the brush strokes... just a bit to get away from that sort of mathematical, computer made 'brush stroke' effect as opposed to the painter's hand.

but, regardless of those changes, i do like this and have marked it in my favorites.

If wishes were horses... there'd be a whole lot of horse crap to clean up!

I know what you mean about the precision of the strokes. When I was first building this, I put in a noise distortion component -- somewhere -- but didn't like the results, so I took it out. After reading your comments, though, I went back and put it where you said you did and limited the values, and now I like it a lot. THANKS! smile:D

I did find that that longer strokes tended to look "better" when the distortion was low, but that shorter ones could take higher values, so I added a slider to that component so the user could decide.

Thanks again, dahling! smile:D

Oh, garbanzo? I increased the upper limit of "Image Softness," so now you can have even softer sketches if you like (though of course you can still keep it pretty subtle). smile:)

Thanks, Anomaly! I'm glad you like it!

I see you don't have any filters listed -- will you be creating some for us, or are you more of an end-user? Regardless, welcome to our little party! smile:D
