I had to try for myself. Just spent a few seconds but it's definitely an interesting effect. Will be useful for some future project I'm sure. Thanks for sharing the idea. That's why I belong to sites like this as I can always be lead to stuff I may not have ever encountered on my own.

I was feeling a little like I wanted to make something weird so here's what I came up with. More of the pixel bending and It involved an image of fire and a portrait.

One more and I'm done, promise. I like the oil painting effect the most.

Beautiful, Tim! For some reason, I just cannot get the same effect you are getting :(
This one just wouldn't cooperate with me know matter what I did. So, it has alittle of this and alittle of that applied. Maybe the key is to start with a good photo! [:P]

Ok, I did as above and I think my pixel bender is not cooperating!

Turn the Stylization up higher. The higher it goes the more it should look painted. Then turn the cleanliness up or down to taste.
Ok, I think the one above looks alittle more painted. I turned both the stylization and cleanliness up. I really had to move the cleanliness up quite a bit to even get this much out of it though.

If you turn the Stylization way up it should look like a seriously wet oil painting. A lot more that what your are showing here.
On Edit:
Clicking on your images to see them in full size at flicker I can see the effect a lot better. Sometimes subtle is all that is necessary. What I might suggest trying is turning the Colorization up just a bit to see how it looks. That can make the colors really pop, but be careful, it doesn't take much.
Stylization is similar to using the Smudge tool, The stronger it is the more it smudges or spreads the colors. The Cleanliness essentially increases or decreases the wetness or amount of paint used on a paint brush. Colorization adjust the Color Vibrance and Saturation. Brush density is the size of the brush and thickness of the bristles. Brush contrast will make the bristle strokes either more obvious(Heavier) or smoother less obvious.
No, it pretty much doesn
Are you using Pixel Bender on large files before you reduce the size to post on the web? If you are, try reducing the size first then use PB.
I have been using it on large files since I don

Thank you, Tim! I am at work now but will run thru the checklist when I get home ...this will be very helpful!
Thanks to the link, Tim! All is working pretty good once again after I made a few changes in my settings under the performance tab!
Here are a few I just did, which I think looks better than the previous version I posted last night...

Thanks :)
Yeah, they do look better, glad that link helped.
The kaleidoscope filter works great on close ups of certain flowers. It can turn them into a wild looking background.
This was an image of a gull in flight transformed with the polar coordinates filter in CS5 and Topaz Adjust, was trying to get an "eye of the storm" look

Denise, on the three bird set, the last bird, what were your settings for the pixel bender? Did you downsize your images before filtering?Quote:

Denise, They are both nice, but I really like the first one. That looks like something your might hang on the wall somewhere.
Greggt, First one too dark for my personal preference, but that's just me. I really like the second one though, good work.
