The usual paseq, blend&linesetcanim, followed by the acrylic blender brush as the paseq left way too many black lines on the leaves.Then Painter, photo brush, saturation to intensify the turtles, texture and chop/signature.

Yes the PASeq works best with less "noisy" images. Because it does a generate paths from source images any image with lots of edges is going to be an issue. I suppose one could add a sizeprune operation. I am waiting for v4 to see what other line treatments can be had. I have about a dozen variations on this PASeq with differing ways to generate the lines. I am not truly satisfied with any of them yet. But I love how you are using it. Amusingly I also have a work with turtles from the National zoo in d.c.
You could redo the PASeq so it places the source image in the canvas, smooth that image, then generates the paths off of the smoothed image, then erase the canvas and do your original PASeq idea. By preprocessing the source prior to generating the paths you might not get so much noise in the generated paths.
Thanks. I'm using it as a sort of advanced underpainting? It varies with each image which is part of its magic. I love turtles, probably some leftover childhood thing. I can remember swimming in small ponds and having turtles swimming by me, all mysterious.
