Take the unexpected path

So i started this with a very specific paint effect in mind. One i painstakingly hand edited. I was working with the Current Preset Technique option in Gallery Show. Which of course works off of the current loaded reset file in the Browser, not whatever happens to be sitting in the Editor. So when i ran gallery show things immediately veered off into something that did not look at all like what i was trying to do.

But i decided to follow where Studio Artist had taken me. As opposed to cursing and fighting that. And i ended up in an interesting place because of that. One i would not have anticipated going to.

Personally i feel the contrast is too over-exposed in how this ended up. But it gave me a cool idea for a new second generic Composite option that could totally fix that over-exposure thing created by the combination of processing effects i was working with. Which i immediately added to our SA6 to do list.
