Here is my original:
Then I don't yet have time to download and play with pixel bender, so I played around with the artistic filters--a lot. Probably would have been faster to download and install, but I don't know how to install. I didn't really find anything I liked better than the original photo or even found interesting enough to share. So I switched images. But the first image I didn't think was even improved with my clean edit process so I went back to the original:

| Sorry, I had to share. All the artistic stuff took away too many details and didn't change the background at all. |
I did finally find a picture where at least the changes were interesting. I used the Rough Pastels Artistic Filter:

It was a nice morning learning. Maybe tonight after the kids are in bed I'll have time to install some actions and some plug-ins. Won't that be fun? Have a great Thursday!

Hellebores are one of my favorite!
I really that artistic pastels filter and the hellebores are just the perfect pastel subject. I hope you do get to download the filter though you might get to bed late tonight LOL its addictive.
I love how those crocus popped with your edits - I have ones just like that in my garden.
I love what you did with the artistic filters!
Beautiful! They're all really fantastic. I'm dying to play with that pixel bender plugin as well. So neat!
That artistic filter is really neat! YOur first edit is really pretty, too...nice color pop.
Love your edits :) The purples are so vibrant!
That crocus is just fantastic, the final is so crisp and vibrant, you did a great job.
I couldn't figure out right away how to install the Pixel thing either and haven't had time yet to read instructions on it.
Your edits are beautiful! I love the nice and easy edit on the crocuses, and the rough pastels filter on that last one is just lovely - looks like a canvas painting!
Love your edits on the crocuses! The nice and easy one looks great! Must install it and try it! I'm like you in the respect that I download actions then forget about them or never get around to installing them. :) Not enough hours in the day to get everything done that I wish to get done. {sigh}
The shot of the crocuses is AMAZING! So sharp, vibrant and pretty!
LOVE those- really like the final edit on the purple ones
Wow! what you did with the "nice & easy" steps is fantastic! I couldn't get the action to run...hmmm...now that the kids are in bed I'm going to play with that again :)
I love your edit of the crocus; they now leap off the page! The last one of hellebores is great too; it looks like a piece of art.
Love the sharpness of the first edits!!! sooo great!
I love the editing you did on the first image. It was already so beautiful and now it's WOW!
GORGEOUS edit on the first shot - WOW!
Flowers are God's gifts to us photographers, and He would be so pleased with your edits to share them in all their glory and more... Have a blessed weekend!
I really liked the SOOC crocuses but the "nice and easy" is amazing! The hellebores (I'm only copying what others said, I really had no idea what kind of flower that was. LOL) are fabulous with the pastel treatment.
Great edits... I really like the last one from the crocuses...so pretty!
Your SOOC didn't need much editing. Love the Nice & Easy.
It really did go from good to WOW! Great job, the purple flowers perfection.
I love the rough pastels artistic filter...so pretty!! Ashley's action looks awesome! :)
