This is the scanned image.
I applied the watercolour paper filter and ended up with this.
This uses the note pad filter.
And this one's the photocopy filter
I've been playing around with some photo shop filters on a scanned image of some of my decorated papers. The papers are typical of the ones I sell on my etsy store. I scanned them into Photoshop and created a patchwork, then added filters to create these images. It's amazing what an individual filter can do. I use Photoshop everyday in my work, but very rarely get time to just play.

Fun stuff! Your original scanned papers just pop right off the page. They really woke me up this morning!
hee hee. I'm always playing with my filters too. BTW, I used some of your beautiful paper in the mixed media book I made over the weekend and thought of you. So pretty and so unlike what I do. I love it that we are all different, even when we do the 'same' things. xo
It's good to play...and when you get this sort of great stuff happening, it's even better...

Wow, that is so cool! I really had no idea you could do that kind of thing with Photoshop! Maybe I need that for Christmas...hmmmmmmmmm
Very fun! Beautiful colors!
What great looks using Photoshop. I bought Photoshop Elements 6 and still haven't had time to learn how to use it. maybe you need to do a workshop on photoshop too!! Love to try and find the time to do one of your classes

It's quite amazing how many effects you can get. Your papers are divine, Ro.

You have such a beautiful blog! Thanks for stopping by my place today! :)
Your papers are wonderful, in each example, and all so different! What paper do you print your images on? As usual, your colors are brilliant but your black and whites are lovely too. Roxanne
These are just fabulous Ro! Just wish there was more time in the day to play with photoshop!
They look awesome Ro! So vibrant too (of course!)
They look great, Ro! What a great tool to 'spark' ideas for paintings (I'll have to get photoshop!)
Thanks for your comments on my site :-)
You have been a busy girl, indeed!!
Wish I knew how to better use photoshop. One of these days....or weeks, since it takes me forever to learn anything on the computer, I'll dedicate some time......or take a class. I feel ridiculously stupid that at this point I still am pretty clueless.
It's terrific what you did and how you have presented it here.
Congrats on the show BTW....the two of you will really compliment each other in a gallery together. V
I am seriously impressed Ro - these are wonderful. Even with the time I am way too scared to play with photoshop!
Isn't it fun to play with photoshop ? I love what you did with the filters!
Oh no! Lovely stuff.
More to make me spend even more time on the computer!
oh how i wish i had photoshop! your work is fab. thanks for the comment on my blog:o)
Awesome as always Ro the mind boggles if you had more time to play, what you would come up with!!

Don'tcha just love Photoshop filters? I could play with them forever!
mmm.. Your papers are inspiring... its damn cold here in Sydney too, and I have the heater on, the tv for white noise and now I cam mess with photoshop.. good for you to be able to play after using the comp all day at work.
I've been wanting to learn Photoshop, so this filter display was an interesting lesson on some of the cool things that one can do. Thanks for sharing!
