I just
upgraded my photo editing software, Paint Shop Pro, from Version
6 to Version 9, and I've been playing with some of the
"Artistic Effects". Normally, I don't much care
for modified / enhanced photos, but I've got to admit that some
of the results are fairly interesting. What do you
think? My favorite effect is "enamel", but I've
also used "contours", "brush strokes", and
"topography". (Note -- after applying the effect,
I've also typically enhanced the color saturation). Scroll
on or jump to abstract variations of a few favorite models: Ashton,
Brooke, Jennifer, Jessica,
& Victoria.
