Seen some of the other work here and had to get the program. Here's one of my first ones. Flowers look great.

My first try was with a photo that already had extensive PP done in PS. It was a 20+meg file... Fractalius would do it's thing (for like an hour) and then... poof... nothing happened. So now I do the Fractal thing first and then other PP.

Any others out there with tips on this program?

    I'm beginning to think I may have to try this stuff. I do like some of the effects you can get. Nice work on this one.
    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Wow, gorgeous. I love the colors and the lighting. I didn't realize this was a program. I'll have to check it out, so many programs so little time!

    I find it also takes forever to render no matter what I do or don't do to the photo.

    Thank you all for your comments.

    What I really like about these is that I can use photos that didnt quite make it as a real pic for one reason or another, yet were not ready for the trash bin.

    Here's one of an old weed-flower? I originally liked the flower, but after normal processing... it was just too shabby. But I like how the Fractal turned out.

    Yes it does take forever... My problem with photos that already had processing, was that even after waiting forever... nothing happened.

    Might just be the limitations of my computer. Oh goodie... more stuff to buy. :)
