Photoshop + plugin filters

I have recently been trying out some experiments with plug in filters with varying degrees of success - Like all things, practice & experience improves the results. :

Wells Cathdral, Somerset

Stourhead Gardens, Wiltshire

Stourhead

All, except the last one are done with Topaz clean.

The Topaz Clean is supposed to be a refining filter to clean up an image, but if you grossly mis-use it, you get some wierd results (Like those above). It works on contrast edges in the image. If there are no real contrasty edges, adding a tiny amount of noise to the original image is enough for the filter to get to work on.

Yeah...Have a great holiday...
