Donald Gray Online Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · Fractilus again Oct 15, 2009 at 09:30 PM

lylejk Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #2 · Fractilus again Wow; Fractilus really does make a realistic craquelure look. Oct 16, 2009 at 12:09 AM

Donald Gray Online Upload & Sell: On p.1 #3 · Fractilus again Thanks for the comment. Just by itself, I find Fractilus a little overpowering. However my work flow tones it down by bringing in the filter to a varying degree depending on the original. I copy the original into two layers. Apply my favourite settings of fractilus to the top layer then give the top layer some transparancy, bringing back some tonal detail and merging the two layers.... Oct 16, 2009 at 07:33 AM

SJMD Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #8 · Fractilus again Very nice work - forgive my stupidity, is this a stand alone program or a ps addition, I love the look this gives, really great images. Oct 17, 2009 at 01:49 AM

Thank you for the nice comment. No stupidity noticed...It is a plugin for Photoshop by Redfield. See here One more example.... Workflow: Make duplicate layer Apply Fractilus filter to top layer Add transparancy to top layer to mute fractilus and bring back some tonal range (only a little) Add layer mask to top layer With black brush 'paint' out the fractilus effect on little girl. Flatten image & publish Oct 17, 2009 at 07:43 AM

DCRobinson Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #10 · Fractilus again Great use of this filter. Dave Oct 17, 2009 at 03:39 PM

Jo Dilbeck Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #11 · Fractilus again Very nice use indeed! I've seen some other uses of this filter that, while interesting, have been rather overwhelming. Your transparency mutes the filter enough to make it more realistic. I particularly like the statue in #4, it really doesn't look like the filter was used, but that the texture was really there!

Donald Gray Online Upload & Sell: On p.1 #12 · Fractilus again Thank you Jo - That is a very nice compliment. I was intrigued with Fractilus but every time I experimented with it, my results were over powering & I could not get the effect I wanted. When I tried the 2 layer with transparency method, it all seemed to come together for me. Thanks also to all who have encouraged me to go one with it. Donald Oct 20, 2009 at 08:31 AM

wordski Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #13 · Fractilus again These are sweet. Donald, I have been experimenting with Fractalius and was just curious...does it take quite a while for you to process the image once you've got it where you want it in Fractalius? When I click the green check mark "OK" button, it literally takes 5 mins before it opens again in CS4. I'm using the demo version tho, don't know if that has anything to do with it. just wonderin' Oct 27, 2009 at 01:41 PM

Donald Gray Online Upload & Sell: On p.1 #14 · Fractilus again Hi Wordski I have fractalius.8bf in the 'Plug-ins' directory of Photoshop. I open the source image in PS and apply the Fractalius by using PS Filter dropdown. I find that applying the filter only takes a few seconds. (I do have a quad core processor with 4GB ram... That bight help with the speed, but 5 minutes does seem a long time - Are you doing very large files? Oct 27, 2009 at 10:05 PM

wordski Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #15 · Fractilus again Donald, My files were about 25mb and i'm using a dual core processor with 3gb of RAM. When I change from preset to preset in the Frac dialog box it moves pretty darn quick. but when i apply the filter to the image it seems to take forever! I usually get up and go do something before I come back to edit the image any further. I can open a 100mb file in just a few seconds. It may be due to the fact that i'm using the demo version. I'm going to get the full version and see if that does any better. thanks for your help tho. Ed p.s. I also use the drop down filter in CS4 Oct 27, 2009 at 10:18 PM
