Curmudgeon asked me for a tutorial on an earlier topic. I hope this suffices.

This must have taken quite some time to create, Larry. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!

Thanks Larry for posting. Have you found any way to stack effects in Topaz other than saving the effect and reopening it again?

There is an "X" above the current Blend Mode. Click and it closes that layer. Then you can pick another 'effect' that will work with the image while keeping all that you have already done.

Thanks, Larry. I just got Studio 2 this week and was feeling a bit lost. Very helpful.

l-fox you have done a fun job playing with our wonderful new tools that the wet darkroom never afforded us; only Disney Animation could change things in the old-days. What you are showing us here is that we should play with our software and the wonderful presets; that we do not have to go thru the torturous labor of working with the sophisticated multi-steps in some program like the godlike Adobe. Play and discover.

Thank you l-Fox for getting me out of my recliner chair and clicking programs on You-tube; I have the tools you have used... why don't I get busy and use them... it is easy to play. You used the phrase "fiddle with" yes exactly that is what the sliders are all about playing or fiddling with.

Note to would-be tutorial makers: Capturing the full screen with annotation can be done using "Lightshot" a free program. What screen capture did you use l-Fox?

With Windows computers, hold down the Windows logo key while clicking the print screen key, usually located on top row.

A png file is created on my Windows 10 laptop. The "hard" part - knowing where it saved - was made easier by making a shortcut on the desktop once I found the designated folder.
