Just a teaser

I'm working on a new effect, inspired by an idea of Andrew.
You can play with the effect in your own artistic way as the three examples demonstrates (they are all done with the same effect, no other effects used)

For me it was the challenge to make the effect more dynamic, instead of a static approach with a fixed texture. I managed to do this without any selection, which was another achievement for me

I will create some 1 click ready effects and a base effect to add other different effect on top of it.

If you have any suggestions or ideas to add to the effect, let me know

Cheers,
Arwin

Oh Arwin!

How excited I am to see how you've developed the raw idea that I sent you - you have truly made them your own and have significantly improved my initial idea - I knew that you were the right person to develop any ideas for effects that I might have, having decided not to upload any more effects to the Gallery. For the sake of others, let me testify to the benefits of cooperative effects development - you and I have worked together in the past, the present and, hopefully, in the future and developed ideas that might not have been realised working on our own. Let me thank you for taking on board ideas that I might have and developing them to such a high standard. I must make it clear that the end result of your development is a set of effects that are far removed from my basic idea and indeed are mainly your own work and your authorship should be acknowledged.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE what you have come up with and can't wait to see the effects live! They will be amongst the BEST in Gallery and it is obvious that you have put in a lot of creative thought and time into developing these. So a personal THANK YOU from me - you are the MAN!

One Click Creative Effect 001 - Jessica: This is simply DIVINE - what an inspired effect - portrait photographers will love this BEAUTY. I look forward to seeing all the variations of this effect that you come up with. The potential of these new effects seems diverse and unlimited. Stunning creative work on your part my friend.

All the very BEST,

Andrew

Hi Eve and Andrew,

Thank you for your comments and enthusiasm, it's really something that gets me going, beside the fun and brainteasers the effect editor of SPE does give me

Thank you also for your kind words about my niece Jessica Andrew, I assume it's her you're referring to? Although you can also refer to the effect itself, my first thought was about her
It's a photo I took back in 2009 with some construction lights as light source before reading me in, in all pros and cons. I did take them in raw and afterwards adjusted the white balance to remove the yellow glow from the construction lights, also a bit of glamour retouch is done. Here you can see the original, amoung some other photos I took, not really active at that site for a while though

I will upload the effects by end of this week, just finishing some more 'one click ready' effects.

Here some more teasers
