The effects are marvelous if used in moderation and it seems that I have used it at least once in every illustration. It is a wonderful tool for blending colors at their edges and creating highlights along outer edges of a subject.<BR/><BR/>Although I have used the smudge tool in Photoshop I don't seem to be able to control it as well as the similar tool in Painter. <BR/><BR/>The effect you created was lovely!Ginger*:)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14970160779830842600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1052905315917849912.post-9797938983513179192008-11-22T16:21:00.000-08:002008-11-22T16:21:00.000-08:00You know Bron I used it when I first learned Photo...You know Bron I used it when I first learned Photoshop and since then I guess I forgot about it. I will start experimenting with it! Thanks!<BR/><BR/>I have missed Trowbdrige. . .it is nice to see you post again. I think it's fascinating to see how you use the photographs you use for illustration references. Pretty cool!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
