I assume what the filters are really intended for - aside from playing
around for ones amusement - is to give illustrators, art directors, etc. a
quick and dirty way to take a stock image and turn it into a 'drawing,' a
'painting,' etc...without, of course, painting something, or paying someone
else to do it. ;-)

Then Mark ?
Is that in the to-do-list or not-to-do ?
Simulate sounds horrible, and results would be that horrible.

I think that is the point where one would rather become a real painter using
real oils, pastels, brushes ... one would become a sort of digital artsy
artist. At last what illustrators do.
Bah... if someone likes it go ahead. What I can't get is why some one have
to simulate something if other would do it authentically.
