Thank You Carla! Jeff #9400697

Carol Teal May 18, 2011

I love this in B&W and agree that it would be kind of busy in color. However, I do have to say that I love the Palomino horse! I think they are so beautiful! And thanks for sharing what you did. I assumed that you used the high structure setting in Nik Silver Efex. I didn't know you used Topaz first. #9410300

Jeff Robinson level-deluxe May 19, 2011

Thanks Carol - Yes, I used High Structure with NIK Silver Efex to accomplish this! Jeff #9413215
