Nai Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hello everyone ! I love Ambrosia effects and want to use it for some of my future projects. For the time being, I can't use available specific Photoshop plugin for it and so needing some available alternatives. Ambrosia effects, and how the colouring looked like : http://grafnet.com.pl/getattachment/Filters/Filter-Factory/ambrosia.jpg.aspx I'll be glad to read from you all. Thanks !

TechnoRobbo Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 If you know how to CodeLab, that's what's called a PathGradientBrush. If you don't then you can do it manually with multiple layers like this: 1 Quote Go out there and be amazing.

Cc4FuzzyHuggles Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Hello Nai. I haven't heard of Ambrosia before, but I did an internet search for a photoshop ambrosia, and I found this : http://www.123creative.com/photo-actions-atn-text-effects-for-photoshop/711-4-photoshop-actions-set-ambrosia-celia-pamela-and-querida.html So now I want to ask you, Are you looking for how to make blended colors as TR demonstrated? Or are you looking for a vintage coloring photo effect? Edited September 1, 2014 by Cc4FuzzyHuggles Quote *~ Cc4FuzzyHuggles Gallery ~* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red ochre Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hello Nai,Do you just use that coloured gradient layer with a low opacity over your image?If so, then TR's approach is good.Or is it a Photoshop filter that acts directly on the contents of the layer?In which case, have you tried Null54's PSFilterPdn plugin? - it can run some Photoshop plugins directly in Pdn.I don't know if the grafnet ones will work or not.http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=20622 Quote Red ochre Plugin pack..............

About TR's approach- I think that's what I need when I'm not able to use the 8bf files. And I am so grateful to know there're many alternatives out there. About Null54's plug-in- I have downloaded the plug-in and tried it, and it's perfectly awesome. And here are the root of the issue which prompted me to post my first post in this section : Not able to run 'Ambrosia' Photoshop filter and some other filters from Filters Factory as well. I have discussed it with Null54 and he gave the powerful solutions for it yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you looking for a vintage coloring photo effect? Thanks Cc4FuzzyHuggles ! I am looking for an alternative of making blended colours, specifically ambrosia effects, without depending on Photoshop-plugin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cc4FuzzyHuggles Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 For blending colors, TR's way is very good. Another way is to color on the canvas with the colors you want, and then gaussian blur. 1 Quote *~ Cc4FuzzyHuggles Gallery ~* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechnoRobbo Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Cc4FuzzyHuggles Another way is to color on the canvas with the colors you want, and then gaussian blur. That's a really good idea! I tried it. Paint bucket black , add 4 colored rectangle Gaussian blur 3X. Perfect!! Quote Go out there and be amazing.

Cc4FuzzyHuggles Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) I like to max out the gaussian blur with lots of colors, and then I get a pretty effect. Like-wise, you can run coloring plugins, such as the Multi-Color Gradient plugin EER suggested or the Light Rays plugin, and then do a gaussian blur.
