as expected, the emboss filter does a good job on defining the contours. The sickest thing would be coloring it with that base.

oh, if that requires some manual effort, then I appreciate it a little bit more. I thought it was an automatic filter that the program would make it in the same instant.
> Besides, simple tools are not to be underestimated. Push it to the limit and if you get board you can try it
And it still delivers. It´s not like there are many secrets out there besides that. It´s like putting a handicap to imagination, but one that I have known well since my years on Gran Turismo 5. It´s not about the options you can have but the proper ones to use at each moment. I prefer using the same old 4 ones that I have a certain experience with than having 500 filters but not having a certain ability to use them properly. I will get to that point eventually if I have to go more professionally or beyond the usual limits. But...
> I will also look around for other FOSS/shareware and see if there is anything good
....you are more willing to experiment new filters and options. Go ahead and check how it goes. Maybe you will cause me to change the program/app quicker than expected and I have to get the complete tools.
I however, would doubt to have edited a picture like this one, messing around with my finger. I personally don´t remember how I made it.
