      Here's my first attempt at using Piranesi and a little Photo Shop PP.

        πŸ‘ That's a very professional model. I would consider selling this model very seriously. I see you Photoshopped this, do you think that taking a model into Picasa would have a similar effect?

          Hi CodyV1,

          Thanks for your words.

          On Picasa. I do have Picasa 3 loaded as a image viewer and it has limited features. All three images were cropped (which could be done in Picasa) and a pencil overlay layer imported and applied to soften and blend the drawing in Photoshop (I don't think that could be done in Picasa) The last image I ran processed through Piranesi and then finished off in Photoshop.

          Regards,

          Robert

            Ehh, that's not the answer I hoped for. I wish Adobe came out with a free version of Photoshop like Google did with SketchUp. Oh well, I think I can edit some shots in Picasa, the Photoshop iPhone app and some other places. Do you know of any good, free render applications? One that can preferably work magic on race tracks.

                I second the Kerkythia suggestion. I've not personally tried it but several people use the free Gimp for photo manipulation.

                  I download both of those. I'm looking for simpler render program, not that my expections weren't overpassed by Kerkythia. It's that they were belittled to a simple program. I know I will use GIMP, Picasa and Photoshop Mobile post render.

                    CodyV1 have you tried the Gimp "photoshop" type application called GNU Image Manipulation Program. Open source and free, mac and PC.(rhyme unintended)

                    GIMP

                      If you are looking for another easy to use image editor, there is also Paint.NET. Sometimes I find it easier and quicker to work in that than even Gimp.

                        Hmm, I can't open Paint.NET in Google Chrome, and once you switch from IE to GC, you don't go back. And I did download the GNU Gimp, is there a diffrent version then. Plus there are alot of third parties that make photo editing apps on Facebook.

                          Chrome works fine in being able to access http://www.getpaint.net/ where you can download Paint.NET v3.5.5?

                          But in case you may have an issue you could try....

                          In fact there's lots of sites offering this. try it out as it's well worth the price πŸ˜‰

                            After a couple of weeks of experimenting with different methods thanks to this forum I stumbled upon Fotosketcher. This is SU run with the FS watercolor filter.

                            Feedback and critique welcome.

                              Can you remember what settings you used for this image Robert? I really like it!

                              Thanks James,

                              I think this is pretty close to what I used.

                                Only criticism I have is that I'm not a fan of 'texture' in the FS images. I'd play with the other settings to add noise, and get rid of the texture.

                                And I think the tree with the red leaves is a bit overpowering to the scene. I want that tree to start to fade out, or be of a lighter color.

                                Nice work though!
                                I need to study up on getting trees and landscape to look nice... this technique would work well for a series of catalog plans I'm working through.

                                  It's a great image, but I agree about the red tree.
                                  It strikes me that it's in two different places. The trunk of the tree is way back near the fence but the foliage is right up near the camera.
                                  It may well be that they are two different things, but that's how it reads to me and kinda steals the focus.

                                  I'm only being picky and looking for problems, I love it.

                                    My wife would agree with you on the red tree!
