Peter, I don't know how you have achieved #3 but it's very impressive!
Care to share with me which filter was used and in which software?
Thanks!
Thanks Jakov.
It's an edit of #2.
I used Topaz Glow with Brilliant Fiber III preset, if I recall correctly.
#2 is the output of FX Photo Studio CK (red comic + explosion)
So I admit: I do not possess brilliant editing skills. Just creative pieces of software. ;-)
Interestingly several people were interested in having a Topaz Glow print on their wall.
