Sometimes there are photos that I like but that are a bit boring, or the colours are a bit off, or a bit blurry. If no amount of photo editing seem to improve a photo there is always the alternative to try to get an interesting result using filters. You need to experiment with the parameters until you get a pleasing result but it is really great fun and the results are worth it.
In PSE, you can find the Filters by clicking on Filters->Filter Gallery or, on the right hand side of the screen, under Artworks and Effects, choose filter in the first drop down menu, and artistic on the second.
Here's some before&after pics:
Watercolour Filter, parameters set to 10/2/2.
Coloured pencil, parameters set to 2/12/25. My favourite filter and one of the few ones that work well with portraits too.
Poster Edges filter, parameters set to 4/3/3. Very subtle change, but somehow it improves the photos by 100%.

My faves go 3,2,1! The last 2 are just fantastic. I cant believe what that little difference made to the tree and moon. You can't really pinpoint it (except the ring on the moon!) but the tree looks so much more striking too. Beautiful work Elisa. Can't wait till you start a class! (Hint hint!!)
Forgot to say, I love the original of no.2 too. I wouldn't have tried to change it, but I do like how it turned out in Watercolour!
Thanks Elisa
