Someone asked me the other day about how I achieve the effect on my avatar...

So for anyone interested,

Here's what I did to achieve the effect. I used Topaz clean and adjustments then masked. It gives it a nice gritty effect lol.

it's a personal preference thing but I like Topaz Detail although I think all of Topaz programs are pretty cool and a must have, just a quick play around, or as Dee would put it a quick AW itch. scratched View attachment 27479 ...lol

Hey, Inkz - u mind if we all jump on the bandwagon and have a Topaz-crazy-fest based on your avitar?

For a different look, here's a mix of Topaz details, clean and simplify (with a dash of shadows/highlights thrown in)

:mrgreen:

Good video Inkz. Just a little fast for me to follow some of it. Guess I'll have to get the Topaz and give it a shot. More things to put on my wish list . . .

Tom, I particularly like the painterly effect (being a painter myself).

Could you do me a quote for five bedrooms and a hallway please, oh the garage up and overs could do with a face lift also:mrgreen:

Yeah, that is toxic stuff! But don't worry unduly; Aunty Clare's eyes aren't what they used to be (and the brain? .....). Oh wait they never were what they used to be. I've been wearing specs since age 7. No wonder I'm so weird.

But this is your thread, so it's all about you.

You are wonderful! tolerant, helpful, talented, knowledgeable but not pedantic, even tempered (a characteristic I envy), skilled, artistic, funny in a low-key sorta way, hard-working, love women (all women), are very good looking (judging by your angel avatar, not House), have girls swoon over you all the time, probably play piano, cook gourmet, do your own laundry, are handy with carpentry tools, can change light bulbs, and you respect your mom. But most importantly, you like coffee!
