I have to try this sometime!

I second HELEN's comment, wicked cool! Very creative technique!

That's very good, Eli! I'm going to clap for you!

Clap, clap! Perhaps you might consider setting up a tutorial... on that diamond maybe

Cosmetics department is working fine. Facial evidence of the passing of the times, i.e. wrinkles on forehead, are gone, while preserving some of the sexy freckles above lips Thanks, TR!

As per the new rule, I've posted two entries, and past the deadline assuming there might be a postponement due to there being only two submissions. @chimay: still need a substitute host? I'm not sure I'm properly qualified, plus I'm not aware of the hosting procedures involved, but let me know if I can help (sorry I didn't notice the request before).

Cute outcome, Eva, and welcome to the forum!

I'll be waiting for the new toy!

Thank you, MJW! I'll continue to explore its possibilities. What I posted above came out of the blue but I'm pretty sure that further uses remain to be discovered

Those are quite abstract, with a cosmic nature of their own! Super job, Red!

Cool job, MJW! You've just turned her into an alien or something!

Not as visually appealing as Red's approach, but it seems I got a few rectangular dents from the Jitter plugin, setting the first two parameters to equal values and varying other settings. Probably these examples aren't even close to something relatively good, but here they are anyway, at least as additional ideas. Original: Jittered once: Jittered twice: Crystallizing first and finally jittering:

Pretty outcomes, Seerose!

The flower looks like carved and painted on a concrete wall

Qualified plugin developers we have. I bet one or some of them may know how to do this by means of a nifty interface. Problem may be that they are probably busy doing other projects, but still, I second that hope

Looks like an interesting request!

Thank you, ReMake! As you can see, I've found a way to put your Linocut plugin to a different kind of use

This gallery is very pleasant to look at. Keep it up!

I'm not sure whether the below-posted quickies will look like a far-fetched application of the plugin, but I've been experimenting with what seems to be an acceptable method to give a photo a phantasmic appearance (or phantasmically cartoony, or something like that). For the following example I create what I have dubbed (tentatively) a phantasmic mask by doing an HSV Scramble on a copy of the original picture, then inverting colors, then Linocut, and finally setting the blend mode to color burn. To give it an even more phantasmal appearance I apply some jitter to the phantasmic mask. The intermediate step of inverting colors may be unnecessary, but I left it as is because it gave me the outcome I was expecting. Optionally, one way to make the result look even paler (or ghostlier) is repeating the HSV Scramble + invert colors operation on another dupe of the original image placed above the phantasmic mask layer with its blend mode set to overlay: And for this other example I've followed basically the same steps, but doing a Motion Blur instead of a Jitter: Here are the settings I've used for both HSV Scrambler and Linocut: Of course everything may be perfected. What I've shown here is merely the result of quick plays that haven't been much refined.

The lawn can wait!

Fantastic Superb

Thank you, HELEN!

Psychedelic!
