Many thanks Kerby, Patricia, and Judy! #2228246Jessica Jenney December 29, 2005
I love your images Cora! What is this 'dream' filter you mention? What software are you using? #2233376Cora Miller December 29, 2005
Thank you, Jessica. I'm pleased to know you like them. Generally I use Dave Jaseck's dream action which runs in Photoshop or Elements. There is a link for the action listed in the comment section of my Spring Has Sprung shot. Another option is the Auto FX dream filter or the use of the gaussian blur filter found in Photoshop. Hope that helps. If you need further help just email me. Thanks again! #2234260Candice C. Calhoun January 21, 2006

Cora, it's been a while since you had a comment on this, but this is probably one of my favorite photos that I have ever seen, ever. It looks like it's straight from Monet's paint brush. This is simply beautiful. #3098243Cora Miller July 30, 2006
