    Sweet! I was beating myself up trying to come up with ideas, so I decided to take it literally 😉

    ETA: U-Man your yellow highlighter pic is well…I found some strange moisture in my eye…must be my contacts.

    Why thankee. I started out with my wife as the subject (with some cleavage and umm…coloring the ummm…banana) but the composition didn’t work. So I went the cute kid route. 🙂

    orionid, I saw your facebook post about the ‘great idea’ and said “greeeeaaaat” to myself. 😛 It turned out really nice. I like both the clock and the scream. I’ll have to play with that.

    And kashari, your horses always do it for me. They have a feel that strikes a chord.

    Thanks. It really is a lot of fun, and has a fairly quick learning curve once you get past the initial hump of “OMG what are all these sliders for?” And the best part is that unlike most adobe stuff, the plug-in is free. Pixel Bender is the plug-in itself, and the droste effect is one of several free downloadable filters that get used through the plug-in.

    Apparently, it does all of the processing through the GPU instead of the CPU, so it’s currently limited to 4200 pixels square.

    If you have CS5, there’s a new embedded filter in pixel bender that I really, really, really wanted to use. It’s pretty much the perfect oil paint filter. Example 1 Example 2, but it’s not available for my version of CS.

    The link at the top of the main page is broken. It links to the message id number instead of the thread number.

    Also, While CS5 may have the bad-ass oil paint, the droste is not unique. It’s actually ported code (by an independent third party in the GNU world) from a gimp plug-in called mathlab.

    OMG, orionid, is that OilPaint thingy fantastic. I want one!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had such fun playing around with the filters. I usually go for HDR, but did not have anything exciting for subject matter and no time to go out and shoot, so must have run 100 pics through various filters. I take it there is a cost to the OilPaint filter?

    As expected, I’m totally outclassed–super nice work from everyone! Esp. like kashari‘s horses, BISO‘s lunar eclipse image, and CD‘s kid-throwing-into-snow (because that just looks like too much fun–oh, to be a kid again!!)

    I did. Mathlab was a graphing program I used in high school. My bad.

    Intolerant Jerk‘s stuff is interesting. On the one hand, I’ve seen that with the right equipment ($cha ching$) this can be done. MY scope can do it, technically (had I the equipment enhancifiers.)

    On the same hand, his last such picture got dq’d, for stacking (which he readily admitted to, and provided shot and filter details). So maybe he (she?) has such toys.

    On the other hand…

    I’d like to know of what the image is; location, common name, etc. A little perspective, perhaps.

    No worries. I’m somewhat familiar w/ Mathlab, which is why I was confused 😉
