Today's image is a comparison toss up on a graphic pen filtered image versus a stamp filtered image. It may very well be that the comparison highlights nothing more than my ineptitude when it comes to using the filters, or maybe that I am more proficient in one than in the other.
The first image is the graphic pen image, made last night. The image is a layering of three images at levels of 5, 10, and 15 at 100 %, 66%, and 33% opacity, respectively.
The stamp filter version was created a while ago, and seems to have better contrast than the graphic pen version. I typically do four levels in a stamp filter, at 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25% opacity. Perhaps it would help the graphic pen images if I broke them down into a 3, 6, 9, and 12. (15 is as dark as the graphic pen filter will go on Photoshop Elements.)
As I said, the graphic pen image came out as the softer of the two. Maybe it would be helpful to try switching to a 4-image layer instead of the 3-image layer?
Thanks for stopping by!
