Wooo Hooo... it works! Impressionist filter

[Tilandra]

After installing Front Page (face it kiddies... my coding sucks) I noticed
it included a copy of Microsoft Image Editor. I thought "How lame! Are
they trying to compete with PSP?" Then I checked the filter menu. Only one
filter... "Impressionist". Disappointment. But when I opened the filter,
there were what had to be over 50 different options! Chalk drawing,
watercolor painting, ink drawing.... tons of effects. And lo and behold, I
can point PSP to it and it works! Couple of questions though.

Is there a way to uninstall the program (MS Image Editor) and still keep the
filter? Has anyone else used this filter, and what are your favorite
settings?

Wha-whoa! Another addiction in the making! <GGG>

Yes, you can get rid of MIC and just keep the Impressionist plugin.
That's what I did. (Joe C., too.)

Yes, I use it and have been babbling a bit about it in this group. If
you go to my latest tutorial on making tweed, then you will see that
the border leaves. etc., were made using Impressionist on the same
base texture. The setting I used there was a modification of
pointilist embossed daubs with my own custom brush.

I will say that you have to play, play, play to begin to understand
how it works. I usually pick a "canned" effect and then begin to play
with it via the options buttons. You can also save off your own
settings. I haven't figured out where the settings are saved so that
they can be shared like BP presets. (Haven't tried very hard, either,
and the whole thing can still have me bumfuzzled, at times.) Joe????

I am "reverse engineering" some PSP brushes so that I can use them w/
Impressionist. (PSP tubes will work, also, if converted to greyscale
TIF. This is good with the emboss effect.) What I think is so neat
about it is the way it picks colors from the image. You can really
get great colored-coordinated effects which would take a bit more
doing if you were just selecting colors from the palette on your own.
(At least that is the way I look at it.) I've just been stunned at
what I have gotten from what is essentially hue shifted random noise
(vis a vis those leaves.)

Well, I've rambled enough. Back to the JS haunted house (for a
friend's Halloween page).

Yes I just copied the whole Impressionist filter folder to my plugins folder
and deleted MICkey mouse. I then zipped up the filters so I would never have
to put MICkey mouse back on my system. g

Windows 98 comes with IE 4. Part of IE 4 is Front Page Express and that is
not FP 98. FPE is a free scaled down version of FP 98 only and does not come
with MIC or MS Gif programs. You either have to have FP 98 or purchase MIC
by itself which I'm not sure you can do.

Joe, you're right about not being able to purchase MIC by itself. I think
originally you could get FP without MIC, but never the other way around.

Well I just installed Frontpage 98 and i cant find a folder by that name to save
my life, where the heck is it and how do i get to it? SAra

When I place the FP CD in my drive and the autoplay brings up the
installation splash screen, I have three options: Install Front Page 98,
Install MS Image Composer, Install IExplorer

The subdirectory on the CDrom is ImgComp

I don't think Microsoft would appreciate someone doing this... just as
Adobe would probably get really ticked off if I zipped up all their
filters and made them available for download off the internet. Or maybe
I could zip up Eye Candy for you and send them to you... not a
problem... or KPT. Could you send me a copy of Blade Pro? Buy the
program, get the filters. It's the way it works.

I downloaded the beta, but it ran so slow and seemed to take forever to do
anything :(

Because of that, I uninstalled it. I did make use of the Impressionist filter
tho.
