@granagringa Ah, I would be more than happy to explain if I could! I know that I used one of the artistic, or brush strokes filters but I cant remember which I am afraid. I tend to play around with those filters because they can have completely different effects from one photo to the next. I also use the facility to 'fade filter' a lot, to see just how much of the effect looks best. That is after you have OKd the filter effect - you can go to the edit option and fade the effect. Just have a play - usually you only go to these filters if you have a photo which doesn't quite have the umph that you want, but you are not ready to discard because there is something in it that you want to hold on to. If that makes sense.
@helenhall Absolutely makes sense..I've not yet tried playing with any of those filters...a little bit of camera raw filter and some color adjustment. So on to filter exploration. thanks! always!
