They go together like a horse and carriage…to paraphrase!
I spent some time this morning playing with my new Topaz filters. I used Simplify to posterize the picture of my son after I had desaturated and cropped it a bit. And then I threw on a couple of textures and color fills and then played with the brushes to add some more visual stuff in the background. There wasn’t much in the background to begin with and Simplify obliterated what was there so the picture needed something more to it.
