Just did a book cover w/ an old world subject matter. DreamSuite crackling effect, best I could find, despite messing w/ all the varied controls, I could not get something satisfactory. It looked too 'hacked' on the final. Though by some's definitions I'm sure, it 'works', but not for my eye.

The filter effect of the crackle was too raggedy and semi pixely despite the 300 dpi rez. Looked fine & nice when small in DS but when opened up in Painter IX or Photoshop CS2 in post, is just didn't 'sell' -- again it looked too slapped on (the cool gray crack lines on white didn't hep either --in a real old painting those cracks would be a warmer tone - brownish vs. This pure gray). The cracks on old paintings are actually smooth, often random small curves that intersect (almost like stained glass, if you will). Despite messing w/ all the controls, I could never eliminate that cracked cement look (read more raggedy cracks) in DS. This look does not 'sell' actual oil painting cracks. The ones included in PSCS2 are abhorred for painting cracks (they're pavement cracks!) I have searched and searched the net but have come up w/ little.

Again the best I found was DreamSuite, but it's just not cutting for me. The art director loves the painting as is w/o the cracks, but agrees it would be a nice touch, but has taken me at my word when I said the filter was not working out as hoped. Advice on where to go from here is appreciated. I can't put my finger on an example of fine cracks in old oil paintings at the moment, but I would guess you know what I'm talking about. Modern traditional (real media) illustrators use it all the time on their paintings to 'sell' old worldness. Coating their paintings, sticking them in the oven etc.

To acheive the effect. Here's a very small version of the illustration. Not sure how this will help as the image could really be anything, the quailty 'cracked' filter over it, that I'm looking for. But if it will help me find a solution, I'm happy to do it. To do it traditionally (I've done it with acrylic trying to mimic oil), you'd prime with a dark color, then when you finish you're painting the 'crackle' varnish pulls at the paint creating fissures. Digitally, you can fake the fissures, but simulating the resulting compression between these fissues will be tricky.after doing it traditionally, the biggest consistency was the randomness. Once you thought you have it figured out, it will surprise you.

Here's a start, using some brushes I had from the 'net and a custom dodge/burn brush. Is this where you're headed? Tim, I'm a great admirer of your work. This is really quick and dirty and needs refinement, but may give you a direction to go in. I made a 512x512 canvas, chose a 2B pencil set to soft cover, low opacity. In Patterns, drop down arrow menu>define pattern.

I proceeded to lightly draw lines vertically and horizontally. Letting the strokes go past the paper edge since define pattern creates wrapping.

I picked up the lines that appeared in the wrap around and continued and connected them. I did this till I had covered the canvas with lines. Apply surface texture.

Selected all and under the Paper drop down menu, captured paper. I took your image in Photoshop and sized it to 3000 with Genuine Fractals.

Saved as TIFF. Opened in Painter, applied surface texture with the new paper.

Played with settings again. As you can see, it isn't perfect.the varnish crackle (it's normally that cracking) can look like leather. You could try taking leather and do a high pass on it.bringing it down to a high contrast black/white. You only want the lines to be apparent, leaving the other areas close to, if not, white, so that it doesn't affect the painting.

This is a zip of your painting at 3000 plus the image I used for the paper. With some attention to detail and using 'define pattern', I think you could create a convincing crackle. I have some ideas how to apply these effects where you can make it look more realistic. Email me, if you wish.

Hope it helps, Cris http://www.elektralusion.com/painter/Crackle.zip. Some further suggestions for you: One way of creating a paint crack pattern would be to start with a blank document in Photoshop and apply the Stained Glass filter to it to create the initial shapes, then use the Liquify filter to distort the straight lines out and make it look like paint cracks - the more time you can spend here the better the results, and the bigger the initial file the better the pattern will be. You can then turn this pattern into a paper in Painter and apply it as a surface texture (just as Cris suggests). Here's a quick and rough illustration of this technique: One way of making the cracks more convincing would be to apply then more than once, varying the paper scale. Also apply different scales to different layers and paint some masks to blend between them, and use different layers for different intensities for the dark and light parts of the image.
