Easy digital watercolor
-
Oh, well, since the thread has just been revived, here's my try, using an action I found on the Web:
Of course, I did some manual preparations before applying the action (Resizing to about 1500px wide, whitening the border, applying Gaussian blur to the border and to several random spots)
And here's the action I found. The text file says it's OK to re-distribute as long as you keep it intact.
The documentation says it works better on images around 3000px in the biggest dimension, but I think it works equally nice on 1500px images.

Yet another try.
This time I applied the effect to a completely blurred version, and put it beneath the regular version. I made another copy of the regular version, and started to alter the curves of the bottom two layers, making them yellowish. I then used layer masks to hide all layers, and revealed them using Photoshop's wetmedia brushes and this brush collection:

A tip: When you use the brushes I linked to, instead of dragging the brush, just apply it in spots. If the brush borders become too distracting in certain parts, blur those parts. Remember that all this work is done in the layer Mask, not the layer itself.

HA, I thought this was a recent thread, I read the year wrong, anyway, I messed with it some more and came up with this:
-
nice job u did. I've done some recent experiences and soon will share them
. but in short :u can have more/less lost-fond edges (depending on suject) in your render.. and also color variations tahat makes yr job more like watercolor job.

Thanks MALAISE !
.we hada good discussion here and learned alot from each other, and now after a while the refined simplified trick is ready. I've tried to do the "smart" part by human, so that the Photoshop does it's "fool"ish job, excellent!!!!.
also I've tested the trick over several 3dwh models, all were acceptable and so guess it will rock!!! -
look forward to it majid!!!

Great work

Apparently not much. Adobe licensed it I know but I havent seen anything yet.
The guy behind Moxi (Nelson Chu) has been seen in a Microsoft video featuring "project Gustav", a painting application in development.
The images show tools like oilpaint so I don't know if there will be any watercolour tool in it. We can just hope...

Still it looks cool. -
After some more Googling I found that it has gotten a real name and site: http://www.microsoftdigitalart.com/index.html
Doesn't appear to have watercolour though...

I guess there's no chance of it becoming an iPad app.
