It's kinda fun.
I've found myself taking photo's on my phone for the express purpose of running them through some PS filters. That's why I have loads of photo's of kitchen knives.
It is.
Really.
Anyways, here's some examples of what I've been doing.
I took this picture on the way back from a mate's house
Ran it through a 'Cut out' filter
Ran it through a 'Sumi-e' filter after 'Solarizing' it
And finally ran it through a 'Graphic Pen' filter.
I think i'm happiest with the Sumi-e filter.
Now I have to learn how to insert objects into a picture.
It helps that you've an eye for what makes a good photo. Great stuff. With regards to inserting stuff - if you plan to run filters later anyway - I find rough cutting things with a plain background and then using the various overlay settings to roughly blend them in works well. Once you add filters over the top, they tend to look good - if you're going for stylised. I suck and creating convincing "real-looking" photos because I fail with things like lighting, shadow and perspective. I realise you wrote this over a year ago and have probably moved on since... :p
