Hi Mary ...

Oh that looks good ... which blending modes did you use ??

Wendy :)

Hi Wendy-
It's nothing special, but I wanted to explore a little.
I created a new layer then used Overlay, reduced the opacity to about 60%, then Filter>Stylize>Find Edges. Then duplicated the Overlay layer and ran the same filter again a couple times.

Just messing around........:o

Hi Mary ...

Oh I'll try that out ... I really like the effect :)

I really think that messing around is the best way to explore and create new things ...

I'd love to see what results you come up with.
I want to find an appropriate picture of a person to run it on once. Saw an example of that somewhere and was impressed with the result.

So many people have such great style in their photos, I need more time to try things out. Gee.......do I HAVE to go to work?????:(

Mary nice effect. Thanks for sharing. I'll have to give it a try also.
