Attempt #2...

To turn a photo into what looks like a painting - using only settings and filters in ON1. Not there yet, but it's a challenge I'm determined to achieve some day!

I can’t help with the technique- I am clueless how to do this. But watching your progress closely...!

@dutchothotmailcom You are sweet, Esther! Thank you!

I didn't know you could do this using only settings and filters. I use 'be funky' to artify pics.

@maggiemae Yes, you can! It's a good way to learn to use these features. A fancy app that does all the work for you, although much easier and more convenient, doesn't teach you to use settings and filters like vibrance, saturation, plus or minus detail, glow, etc.

@marlboromaam Thanks Maggie - must give it a go!
