I want to mess around a bit more with Nathan's (NMSmith's) "Jewel" method, but I am no good at manufacturing fractals... would any members be willing to give me free reign to mess about with theirs?

You can have anything in my devart gallery HERE .. I'll even send you an un-worked version if you desire

Your very welcome to use any of mine that you think are suitable..

Knock yourself out with any of mine that my be worthy Sam!

Thanks guys. I'm not even exactly sure what type of fractal will work best with this type of manipulation yet, but I'll let you know how I go.

Have a ball with any of mine Sam, any you think will suit your purposes

any of mine are available if you want..only have a few though but w/e :)

First attempt Not 100% happy with it but not too bad I think. I will try another one soon.

Thanks for using Galaxy Apophysis for your work... i really appreciate it... it turned out great... =)

Looks great ..

I don't usually share my tricks because the accoustics are so good around here that I can hear the other photoshop-a-saurians .. laughing .. probably just the wind

try this .. create a new layer above .. flood fill a color .. (i use BBC2BB = DevArt Green) .. set opacity to 50 for now .. and blend mode to "Color Burn"

this has the effect of saturation .. and is adjustable via opacity or a couple other blend modes .. you can do it for the final touch on the "whole" .. or .. selective masks for particular objects


yeah .. I know .. you can do the same thing via other, more politically correct, methods .. but you don't inspire books to be written about you by doing things "other peoples" ways

Listen .. can you hear them laughing? .. oh wait, that's you

Second attempt.

Holy schnauzer Sam!! Whadda second effort!! Comments left...
