I like the image so much I thought I'd try to help out [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] I'm sorry I don't know why it uploaded only as a link when you tried it. When you tried to attach the image you did just browse to where the file was located on your system, didn't you? I just saved your image and now I will try uploading it as an attachment. Here goes ...

Whoops, this is mostly Painter, with 'plastic wrap' from Pshop in the top and bottom. I did it with fills and distort tools in Painter. Stock brushes. I will send a "pure" Painter later. In the past few months I have been moving things back and forth between the P's. I was a brush painter for 30 years. Seems I was saving ideas for digital. Nice to know you all are around. Paul

It reminds me of a fist full of beautiful silk scarves blowing in the wind.

It's one of those images that reveals more, the more deeply I look.

Care to tell us how it was done?

Inkings - I hope you don't mind my creating a derivative work from your image. I took a copy of your image into Xara X and started playing with its blend and transparency tools. Of course the explosion of colour wouldn't have happened without your great image. Would such a manipulation of the image be easy to do in Painter?

Jinny, to quote my favorite poet, T.S. Eliot,

And Where You Are
Is Where You Are Not

That looks so fantastic! Thank you for explaining how you did that. And thank you for explaining about derived works and getting permission.

Ross,

Yes, very easy. I did something like that just the other day, using the Zoom Blur effect:

Effects menu/Focus/Zoom Blur

I'll post an example in a few minutes..

Hi all

It's always a good practice to ask before using anyone's image. There's been a lot of discussion her in IDD about just that topic and, though it's obvious that this time it was done with the best of intentions, most artists would definitely not want people doing anything with their work unless prior and specific permission was given.

The images we've used here in the Painter Forum are used with specific permission from the owner to be used in our Challenges and accompanied by a request to credit the owner and display their copyright notice when we post our final images derived from their art or photos.

Let's all just remember to ask and set a good example for those who are unaware of copyright issues.

Thanks everyone, [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Inkings, I forgot to mention, how beautiful that brilliant flash of color is.

A fistful of scarves was not what I first saw although that is a very pretty desciption. I saw us speeding down a colorful hallway with an otherworldly green ceiling and floor, and that brilliant portal of color to some other fantastic dimension [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] .

The colors are great.

Thank you for posting that.
