Smart Filters and Pixel Bender
I don’t usually take candid shots but just couldn’t resist this one, it seemed to sum up a typical British Summer holiday. It never was going to be a great photo but with a bit of help from filters such as Pixel Bender we can transform this grab shot into to something with a more painterly feel.
Some of the tools we will be using in Photoshop include,
- Smart Filters
- Layers
- Pixel Bender
- Shadow and Highlights
- Blend mode
Pixel Bender can be downloaded from this link to Lab Adobe

Believe me or not but I have this filter but did n’t know you can have such effect from the same! I have leaned so much from your tutorial David and I thank you for that.
