so not very complicated. Just used a few different paint presets then made the image monochrome

Bravo Michael !

You win a ticket for the exposition :-)

Yes not so complicated for you, as a "textured string" master ! :-)

Can you post a preset, when you have some time ?

Thanks….

another combo

per your request I have made a PASeq with all the tools used. My method was not to use a PASeq, but rather to run a loop of the paint presets until I liked the coverage and the do some adjustments and then more paint, etc until I like the result. The attached PASEQ will get you as close as an auto run can. But really I suspect you will need to pick and choose the presets and the order for each image. Have fun.

Thanks Michael, I'll look after it. Sure that you have to paint it manually and not in autopaint.

Same paseq with a few of the steps turned off. Then I copied the result to a new layer (make current view new layer). After that I went back to the first layer and ran a modified version of John's Layered lighting (you could do an FF shadow or use your mod to that preset). Then I composited the 2 layers at 80% replace. Just a different way to get some dimension to the paint This way preserves the edges.

Yes I also turned off 2 steps. But I think that this preset has to be in John's next PASeq collection !
