I don’t really use filters… The only thing I tend to use is the Blur tool to soften the edges of the colours in my pics. 🙂 ---

I have a confession - I’ve never used a 3D program in my life. 😊 A while ago I wanted to make a 3D looking jigsaw as part of a concept design… I drew it all by hand. :sure: I don’t use any plugins and stuff for Photoshop… I suppose you could say that I’m a purist - I like to make each effect myself, otherwise I don’t do it. If I want to show light falling on something, I’ll draw the highlights and shadows by hand rather than apply a filter. Guess it’s just me. 🙂 ---

Man kit!!! You are using like 1/100th of the power of ps. Recently I have started using xenofex for a project I am working on and also a few others from flaming pear. Most of the time alot of filters will make your image look pretty cheesey but in moderation is cool. ---

I know, I know. 🙂 I suppose it’s just that the kind of things I use PS for don’t involve filters or 3D. I mostly draw Manga type stuff, and that just uses cel shading techniques. No filters or anything involved there… But the effect I get with PS is better than if I coloured straight in Illustrator. A lot of you guys are all into the whole 3D type thing, which is great. 🙂 My style is just more simple, that’s all. 🙂 ---
