      I tend to only use SU and podium, occasionally I'll use PS but as my skills and time are limited I tend not to.

      Just wondering what the main alterations are that people do to their renders. I have seen a watercolour effect used.

      What are you shopping into or out of your images.

              Andrew Haskins did his thesis on showing a few examples of sketchup photoshop rendering. Here is a 14mb pdf of of his thesis. It mostly talks about a few of the main techniques that have been presented on these forums over the years:

                Personally I use photoshop alot in my renders, along with what thom thom suggested I also:

                • add glows, god rays, flares
                • tweak textures, add grunge maps, add grass in foreground
                • add vignetting, colour gradients, depth of field and grunge/film noise overlays
                • overpainting with a tablet and boosting/cheating reflections on some floors

                In my workflow often a raw render is 50% of the final image, like I have said before photoshop and post is where i make my money.

                  You have Piranesi which is a real "3D Photoshop"
                  The link seems to be closed just now: http://www.piranesi.co.uk/ (hope it's only temporary πŸ˜• ) so I send a You Tube link as example

                  Fotosketcher is only for PC

                  EDIT:
                  Bad news: searching the Piranesi link to send it here, I found that Informatix editor of Piranesi has some real problems:
