Reflections in the River. Normally not this wide but recent snow followed by melting and rain has it at flood level. Tony

They seem to be missing the tops of their heads so asked generative fill to add some crowns ... Tony

R is for a Ravenous Red Cardinal in the Rain . At this time of the year they are very fond of safflower seeds in the bird feeder and they certainly help brighten up a dull, wet day. Tony

As I've been playing around with style transfer in Photoshop I had to give this one a try - it's one of the artist styles applied at reduced opacity: Tony

That seems to work well. Curious, did you use the new free Fx 2023 that was posted on the forum? I already had the ON1 sky replacement - I don't think the free effects would come with it.

Thanks Chris - coincidentally I installed it today and it works for my Fuji RAF files as well as PSD and DNG files.

I didn't have a problem downloading and had a quick try at bringing three into Lightroom, creating a pano which I then cropped a bit and applied a preset from MattK called crisp warm. I rather liked it so stopped there for now. I think the sky could still use some help and wasn't sure what to do with the moon. Looking forward to seeing what others come up with. Here are the settings I used in LR and the resultant image: Tony

I had been wondering how you could transfer a certain style from one image to another - for example applying a sketch style to an image by transfer from another sketch style image. In Firefly you can do it but, as far as I know, only to a Firefly generated image that you have created using text - using one of the Firefly styles or uploading your own image that you want the Firefly created one to match. I had played around a bit with Photoshop neural filters but hadn't realised you can upload your own image and use it as a style to apply to other images. The process is described quite well in this video from Dave Kelly: PHOTOSHOP Painterly Tutorial (Style Transfer Neural Filter)I can think of all kinds of possibilities for applying this technique and I'm looking forward to try it out to see for myself just how well it works.

That's a very good deal! And it works as a plug-in for Elements, Photoshop and Lightroom. I have it and can highly recommend it.

A pleasant day to be outside so here are a couple of outdoor oldies. CN 6069 is a 4-8-2 "Mountain"-type steam locomotive built in Montreal in 1944. Now parked in a local park. The church dates back to 1856 and is one of the oldest in the area. The original pic has ugly wire cables strung all the way across which for a previous project I removed and recall it took a while to get it right. This time I tried generative fill and within a few seconds there was no trace of the wires as you can see. I was impressed. Tony

Found a couple of romans on pixabay: Very nice, Tony. I also like the way you flipped the two side walkways and wall architecture for your composition. Thanks Jim. I started out planning a panorama with a flipped copy and then changed my mind and decided the resultant doorway needed some people and went looking for Romans and cropped the panorama! Tony
