[note: there is a related tutorial in the Elements section called Artistic
Filtering]
Using filters on one’s pictures is practically illegal and surely immoral in black and white photography, but possibly permissible for art to be used as illustration or as part of a collage.

with the next one. For example, I’ve had good results with the Dry Brush
filter, but it looked nauseating on this photo.
So, let’s do the dirty deed.
I’ve picked out four filters that looked okay with this photograph.
