I wonder if one of you clever guys, or gals, out there can help me.
I recently played with an image in CS3 and got the following result.

However, the PSD file has become corrupt so I only have this JPG version left. I beleive that I used a Diffuse filter but I've not been able to replicate the effect. Any idea how I did it?

Doh!

:)

Looks a bit like the "Plastic Wrap" filter to me.

Hmmm, it also looks a bit like Topaz ghostly night or something like that.

maybe 'noise reduction' in Photoshop like 15x?

Topaz labs simplify, all day long

Thanks for the suggestions guys.
It wouldn't be Topaz though as I only have PS CS3! :)

I'm wondering whether it was a combination of filters.
Oh well, that's the problem even with backups at times as even then they can corrupt!

Cheers

Looks like it could have been the palette knife filter or maybe one of the others in the artistic category.

artistic->saran wrap and/or brush strokes->accented edges
potentially some distort->diffuse glow as well

Probably you did save as instead of simply saving as a Photoshop file, and you got yourself a JPG instead of a PSD. A common mistake, don't kill yourself over it :)

If your file contains layers, this cannot happen, since JPEG and TIFF files don't support layers (though TIFFs can retain selections) -- a file with layers will be saved as a .PSD (Photoshop-native) by default.

Whenever I open a JPEG (all originals from my camera), the first thing I do is to create an adjustment layer, even if I don't apply any modifications at that time, so that there is no way to accidentally save-over the original.

That's one of the things I like about Elements - the first time you save after editing a file it asks for confirmation. I'm struggling to get used to that change when using Photoshop.

TIFF supports layers. I use layered TIFF files.

Looks a bit like a light touch of Fractillius
