Playing around with Photoshop...

If you have photoshop, try this cool setting. It's under Special Effects to the right of your workspace and then choose "filters" and "brush strokes" and under that you should be given the choice of "crosshatch", then just double click on it and refine the settings to your liking and save.

It may not show up very well here on my blog because of the smaller dimension, but use it as your desktop background, and it looks amazing! It looks like an artist's rendering of your photo! Good times!!

Unfortunately, in the small size, the textured effect is hard to see here on my blog, so let me crop it a little closer for you to see what I mean. Isn't that nice how her eyelashes look like a painting? Just experiment, you'll have so much fun doing it! I encourage you to keep learning something new everyday!

Have a great weekend!
