And thanks for the nudge to find out about this process. I have tried this a few times and only marginal success. Not yet good enough at photochop. So it does work and has its own name too! On it!

These are beautiful.

Wow! These look great!

I had never heard of this technique before, but you inspired me to look it up. I've since tried it out on a handful of my pictures, and I really like the effect.

For others who may know little about this technique, there is a great tutorial here:
Canadian Photo Club :: View topic - The "Orton" process.

Written from the perspective of one paintshop pro user to another, this was very easy to put into effect. The only thing I would add to his tutorial, is that I have found that I often have to readjust the lightness histogram after all the other modifications are complete.

Enjoy!

I like #1 the best, though I'm not much on effects.

I thought the Orton thing was about the Chicago Bears...

thanks for the comments.

this is one of the easiest manips i have ever tried. literally 30 secs per image. the instructions were so clear. i guess it would take longer if you did other pp. these were straight from the camera, copied as layers, gaussian blurs and viola.

these are not as distinctive and impressionistic as jmr's landscapes, but i kinda like them.

All are very well done... JIMBO
