Thank you John. Very useful tips. I tried to paint at 150 pixels resoultion instead of 266. It looks so much like hand paint than on 266. I guess the smaller the image better at low resoultion.
Thank you once again, Regards, ken.

Dear Ken, I do not have any images on this site. I just tripped over it a couple weeks ago. I am reluctant due to reasons already expressed i.e. too small of an image. I might though just for fun. As for Painter 8, it's vastly improved over earlier versions, but it also has a long learning curve, although just for manipulating pictures, it's not too hard. I'm still trying to perfect PS 7 and haven't yet tapped P8's full potential. It does offer some pretty powerful computer painting tools for pure painting. I guess if you like impressionist art, it may be of value, but that said you may want to learn the full potential of PS first. Regards, John

Wonderful. Thank you John.
I am thinking of buying coral painter 8. Would you recommend it? Next, do you have any images of yours on the web to view?
regards, ken.

Dear Ken, this is a rather complex formula depending on the original image. Important points are to resize picture to low resolution or effects are not dramatic enough. Of couse then resize to print resolution 200-300. Use Art History brush to effect by History snapshot and try a varity of brushes. Use layers or variations to blend effects. Re-levels or curves to maintain contrast and use Saturation and Selective color to boost colors. Don't over sharpen. For filters, I like the Dry Brush and Fresco. Also, Glowing Edges can have great effect if reverted and then blended with original.
Also, I use Corel Painter 8 which offers some very realistic painting options. Good Luck. Just continue to experiment. Important: Record work flow to document what works well. Best regards, John

Hello John, Thank you for the comment. Agree it looks lot more better in a bigger size.
I am new to painting by Adobe PS. I do not know any specific method of painting. I just fool arround.
As you have mentioned that you do lot of painting in PS, I wonder wether you would have some tips for me?
regards,
ken.

Very colorful and lush. I do a lot of digital hand paint and can confirm that the small sizes do not do justice to these types of images. You need to see them in very large sizes to fully appreciate them. Continued success.

Another splendid example of your ability to know how much you can alter an image without detracting from it's natural beauty.
Well done!
