I am a huge fan of the talented artists in this gallery that change photos into stunning artwork by using filters. I am always amazed by their workartists like Marleen, ValeJules, Adryane, Linda, Miki, Margje...I could go on and on. (This is just a short list limited by space restrictions.) They've inspired me to play more with filters. That's what I did with this iPhone snap of a blooming cactus. I keep adding layers, changing blend modes and masking, because the actual snap was kinda blah.. It took a while, but it was so much fun watching the transformation.

Oh, if you use filterswhat do you use? I basically use the PS filters, but do you have any favorites (other than Waterlogue)? Any cool apps or programs?

ArtPlayPalette papers, transfers, brushes and frame from MiniPalette Thanks. Used FotoGlows Mix and FotoBlendz Overlays too.

Thanks for looking!
