What is the fractalius filter & what program is it used in conjunction with?
webart
Oh It’s for Photoshop, Nice work Leslie.
Leslie Battjes replied
Yes, it’s a Redfield plug-in to be used with PS, although it may work with other programs as well…I’m just not sure since I happen to use it with PS only. Pretty cool filter, huh? :)
webart
Yessim.

If you end up getting it, you’ll have to holler when you’ve given it a try…I’d love to see what you come up with!
