Digital Images - Fractalius Filter

The Fractalius Filter is a plug in for Photoshop. The filter only works on windows systems, so unavailable for Mac users.

The filter does not work in Photoshop Elements, the cut down low cost Photoshop.

Fractalius plugin creates unusual, eccentric artworks in a single step. The effects are based on extraction of so-called hidden fractal texture of an image. You can also simulate various types of exotic lightings and high realistic pencil sketches.
There are sixteen different filter types you can select in the Fractalius effect plus 13 different sliders for adjustment in each effect.

You need to get the filter itself, available online from http://www.redfieldplugins.com/index.htm.
With the coming of the digital age in photography it has opened the world of image manipulation. Some people don't like this but I love it, it is all a part of creativity. As the old saying goes. "It is only limited by your imagination".
Below are some examples of my images before and after the use of the Fractalius filter.
